SUMMARY:Ferrets: The Road to Recovery (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center) Half a century ago\, scientists believed the last black-footed ferrets—the only ferrets native to North America—had gone extinct. Today\, their recovery marks one of the most hopeful conservation stories of the 20th and 21st centuries. In a free Smithsonian webinar\, discover how this endangered species rebounded with Paul Marinari\, a retired biologist with the Smithsonian’s National Zoo who assisted in the ferret’s recovery for much of his career.
