I've worked as a colleague with Prairie Wildlife Research and Travis Livieri, who with a very modest budget is managing ferret recovery activities in the Conata Basin, South Dakota, the premier recovery site for the highly endangered black-footed ferret, and serving with Travis on the federal Black-footed Ferret Recovery Implementation Team. The dedication and commitment of this organization to seeing ferrets brought back from the brink of extinction has been instrumental in today's successful recovery program.

Prairie Wildlife Research does a fantastic job of stretching every dollar that is donated for maximum impact on the ground. I am amazed at the dedication of the PWR staff and volunteers. The work that they perform is arduous and makes a direct, hands-on impact on one of the most endangered mammals in North America.

Prairie Wildlife Research Inc. is a terrific organization that works to save animals of the prairie. Many people don't realize the importance of species like the black-footed ferret, and PWR works to educate the public and government about that. In addition to education, people of PWR are out on the prairie, directly working to help the animals, be it spotlighting black-footed ferrets or whatever. I've had the honor of hearing Travis Livieri speak at several International Ferret Congress events. I even got to see some black-footed ferrets in person thanks to tours or presentations arranged by Travis. One of the best things about PWR is that it's a smaller organization that gets a LOT done and hasn't lost the human touch. The people who work for it are truly dedicated (and knowledgeable), and you can be confident that money donated goes to helping the animals.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
learning about the plight of black-footed ferrets and the work being done to save them. I've ordered merchandise and "adopted" a black-footed ferret, and all my dealings with them have exceeded expectations.

2 yrs ago I went with the PWR crew to Conata Basin. We trapped and vaccinated black footed ferrets and captured some for relocation at other sites. Why this is a great non-profit? Your donations go directly to helping one of the rarest North American mammals--not on endless junk mailings and address labels!!
