We are sending some Black-footed ferrets out for release in the remnant wild as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the rediscovery of the species and the Louisville Zoo’s 30th anniversary as a breeding program for them.

There are only about 300 black-footed ferrets remaining in the wild, and their recovery hinges on the conservation of prairie dogs of the Thunder Basin.

Learn about what Chamois and our partners are doing to help recover the highly endangered black-footed ferret.
