Once again, people working together have helped protect the endangered island fox!
The lethal combination of old trash cans, enticing human trash, and proximity to roads with car traffic has created a growing problem for island foxes on Santa Catalina Island. Double Action to Save Island Foxes Early winter 2014, eleven Catalina island foxes were hit by cars. Most were near areas of known trash problems.
But thanks to support from a wide range of private individuals and organizations, Friends of the Island Fox has met its goal to raise $6,000 to fund three "Fox-Saver" bins on Santa Catalina Island. The three bins will be placed in high-use areas where fox fatalities have been growing.
Thank you to everyone who helped raise funds for this important project.
These bins not only help endangered island foxes, they create a healthier environment for people and other island species.
