To be a member of this exclusive club requires only that there be fewer than 100 individuals left. Other members include animals such as Spix's macaw, the Hawaiian crow, the Chinese river dolphin, and the Philippine eagle. The Vancouver Island marmot is now solidly in my 100 Heartbeats Club, and I plan to give it a place in my next book, now in preparation. I wish you success. This is Cormack , a yearling male on Green Mountain, June 2000.
T here is so much to be done, and so little time remaining.
After more than a decade working on this incredible creature, I remain fully convinced that we can win this one, and prevent extinction. I can't see any technical or ecological issue that would preclude this.
