These cuties (http://www.marmots.org/gallery.htm)got a break from the BC government and they got some money to help increase their population as it had diminished to only 25 in the wild!!! This is the full news report on it. (http://www2.news.gov.bc.ca/news_releases_2005-2009/2008ENV0060-000789.htm) The Marmot Recovery Foundation has been funded previously on donation by people like you and me...and will still depend on that. But now at least they got a good sum of money to start something big. Not that they haven't been doing amazing so far. They've increased the population to 256 of which 94 of them are in the wild. But they are soooo cute, that I had to share their good news with you.
