The Humboldt marten population numbers less than 100 in California due to habitat destruction, mostly from logging. Now, they have lost 95 percent of their habitat and are danger of going extinct in the state.
Humboldt martens are small, cat-like carnivores related to minks and otters. “The population size of the Humboldt marten is disturbingly low,” says Justin Augustine of the Center for Biological Diversity. “We hope the commission works quickly to protect this species and help rebuild a viable marten population in California.”
The Humboldt marten's endangered species status is currently up for review from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Please sign the petition to urge the department to grant endangered species protection for this animal before it's too late!
