Dr. Malcolm McAdie has been a key part of the recovery program for the Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota vancouverensis). This video gives us a quick update on what he saw in the field this year in the population of animals that have been re-established in the wild. Malcolm talks about the marmot population declining this year after several years of population increases; likely as a result of drought and predation.
