Marmot population on Vancouver Island climbs to 427 as recovery efforts continue
The Vancouver Island marmot population reached 427 animals this year, up from a low of about 30 in 2003, according to the Marmot Recovery Foundation. The comeback relied on a captive-breeding program at the Calgary and Toronto zoos, which released animals onto Mount Washington and other alpine sites. Biologists now count wild-born pups making up most of the recent growth.
