🦊 Foxes tank rare bird in California wetlands

Red foxes, introduced to California in the 1800s for hunting, have impacted local wildlife populations. The presence of these foxes was linked to a sharp decline in the light-footed Ridgway’s rail at Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge.

Conservation efforts must address both habitat loss and the threat of non-native predators. 🦊
