Join Friends of the Island Fox for a Virtual Event !
"Date with a Fox"
with guest Tim Coonan
Tuesday, December 5
6:30 - 7:30 pm Pacific Time on Zoom
Tim Coonan is the retired Senior Biologist for Channel Islands National Park. He documented the mysterious decline of island foxes across the northern Channel Islands and uncovered that golden eagles had colonized the islands and were unexpectedly preying on island foxes.
How were the decisions made to bring island foxes into captive breeding? What steps had to be taken to restore the ecosystem so that island foxes could return into the wild and recover their populations? Tim Coonan was there when only 15 individual island foxes remained on San Miguel Island and four populations were listed as Endangered Species.
He released the last captive island foxes back into the wild and is the co-author of "Decline and Recovery of the Island Fox."
Join FIF for an intimate conversation with Tim Coonan and a chance to ask your questions about island foxes.
