Adopt the Black-footed Ferret

Submitted by allison_kenlan_5542 on
The black-footed ferret is a charismatic and sly member of the weasel family that once ranged broadly across the grasslands of west-central North America, from southern Canada to northern Mexico. It is the only ferret species native to the Americas. Today, due to numerous threats including the eradication of prey species, no self-sustaining wild populations of the iconic black-footed ferret remain. This endangered species is now slowly making a comeback thanks to careful reintroduction programs and increased awareness of its plight.

Over One-Fifth of Native North American Pollinators at Elevated Risk of Extinction

A pivotal new study led by NatureServe reveals that more than 22% of native pollinators in North America are at an elevated risk of extinction. This first-of-its-kind, taxonomically diverse assessment evaluated nearly 1,600 species—including bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, flower flies, bats, and hummingbirds—shedding light on the growing biodiversity crisis affecting ecosystems and food security.
