Climate Action Now: Private Conservation Org Steps In To Support Sea Otter Recovery
As federal chaos imperils U.S. wildlife conservation funding, an array of private donors have established the Sea Otter Fund to empower the further recovery of sea otters (Enhydra lutris). They plan new reintroduction programs in Oregon and Northern California to link the recovered populations in Central California with those in Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington. This brand-new nonprofit has already raised $1.4 million of their $40 million target, and eminent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official Jen Miller has left the government to run the Sea Otter Fund.
