May 17 is #EndangeredSpeciesDay - The Vancouver Island marmot is the most endangered mammal in Canada. It is endemic to Vancouver Island where there are about 300 of them living in the alpine meadows.
A program of reproduction in captivity started over 20 yrs ago when there were less than 30 marmots in the wilderness. Learn more (& donate if you can) here: https://marmots.org/
