Children Helping Island Foxes

Help for island foxes comes from many places. Recently Friends of the Island Fox received this wonderful letter from a concerned student.

Working with her school friends and family, Autumn raised $155 dollars to help island foxes. Her donation can: 

• test 15 island foxes for tick-borne disease (this is a new priority)
  
• provide 15 island foxes with an ID microchip
• support blood tests during island fox health checks
• help fund a radio-monitoring collar
• or contribute to a "Fox-Saver" trash bin that is needed on Catalina Island

No effort to help island foxes is too small. When we all work together, we can make big things happen. 

Autumn joins our growing group of Island Fox Ambassadors - she is helping tell the island fox's story to her community and working to keep island foxes healthy and safe into the future.

Yared raised funds and then traveled all the way from Virginia to visit the island fox.

Meet some other Island Fox Ambassadors:

• Tigran
• Carpinteria Family School
• More Island Fox Ambassador schools

At the Buckley School students had a huge bake sale and one student designed and sold a T-shirt. 

You can become an Island Fox Ambassador too. Individuals, classrooms, grades, even schools and organizations have become Island Fox Ambassadors.

Island Fox Ambassadors:

• raise awareness about the island fox
• they work on a service project to benefit island fox conservation
• they share their efforts with others

Service projects can raise funding, contribute to habitat restoration, or develop a conservation project to help island foxes and other wildlife (such as an effort to vaccinate local pets so they don't transmit disease to wildlife).
