Dear friends,
1-2 November was Mexico’s famous Day of the Dead celebration. Whereas for most Mexicans the holiday is their way to show their love for deceased family members, for FMCN it was the opportunity to save 3 national endangered species: the American bison, golden eagle and Mexican prairie dog. It is important to preserve these species because they are crucial for the wellbeing of Mexico’s grassland ecosystems.
The campaign is a running project and, thanks to your generous donations, progress has already been achieved. Here are the advances made in the bison herd located in FMCN’s conservation ranch:
-data collection (offspring, gender, tag and chip numbers, year of birth/death, origin)
-calculations of survival rate, statistics, causes of death
-veterinary care and medical check-ups (vaccinations, blood tests, weight)
All of this has already been achieved and, by helping us reach our $20,000 target, you will contribute to educating schoolchildren about protecting prairie dogs and to the rehabilitation of injured golden eagles.
Thank you for all your support so far and here’s to preserving Mexico’s ecosystems.
