Bringing Back the Black-Footed Ferret

More about the book

The narrative centers on the remarkable rediscovery of the black-footed ferret in 1981, sparked by a dog in Wyoming. Once thought extinct, this species faced population decline due to disease and the loss of prairie dogs, its primary food source. The book explores the subsequent captive breeding program aimed at reviving the ferret population and restoring its ecosystem, highlighting the interconnectedness of species and conservation efforts in North America's prairies.
