Summary

[edit]
Description

Near the end of the late 1950s, black-footed ferrets were presumed extinct throughout their range as a result of landscape alterations from agricultural expansion and prairie dog eradication. In 1981, ferrets were rediscovered near Meeteetse, Wyoming, which launched the Black-Footed Ferret Recovery Program. The ferret was grandfathered into the Endangered Species Act in 1973. The National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center was established in 2001 near Fort Collins, Colorado.
