Buy a cute Marmot (8" plush toy) to show your support of the work that the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo does to help this Critically Endangered species.
The Vancouver Island Marmot is uniquely Canadian, and found nowhere else in the world. Marmots are an important umbrella species, which means that protecting them will in turn protect nearby species sharing the same habitat. Once on the brink of being lost forever, wild populations still face the threat of increased predation by wolves, cougars, and golden eagles.
