Slug and I recently “adpoted” a Vancouver Island Marmot.
Given the vast realms of biodiversity needing attention, and my well-known fondness for undervalued plants and dryland ecosystems, you may wonder why we settled on the Vancouver Island Marmot to help save. The answer is simple: Vancouver Island Marmots are so darned cute.

So if warthogs were threatened, you'd just let 'em wither?

Exactly. Except perhaps warthogs are so ugly they're cute.

For anyone wanting to save a less cute animal, I would suggest the Guinea Worm.

Screw the bandwagon, I just like jumping on charismatic macrofauna.
