NOTES FROM THE FIELD | 2023 | No. 2
Pacific Pocket Mouse
[link removed]
They may be smaller than your thumb, but Pacific pocket mice
[link removed]
have a big hand in keeping their coastal ecosystems healthy. Using
their cheek "pockets" to carry and disperse native seeds,
and digging burrows that aerate and hydrate the soil, they're
key gardeners for their habitats. Protecting these critically
endangered mice is crucial to maintaining the delicate balance of
their Southern California ecosystems.
With your support, we're collaborating with partners to save
this tiny powerhouse species through our Southwest Conservation Hub
[link removed]
. For more than a decade, we've been caring for Pacific pocket
mice-including the Oldest Living Mouse in Human Care, as
certified by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS(TM)
[link removed]
-and working to restore native populations through conservation
breeding and reintroduction efforts. Dig in to see why our Pacific
pocket mouse conservation program is making headlines, and how your
support is making all the difference for these little mice.

2022. In this two-part blog series, explore how some unlikely heroes
are using their noses to help frogs in their native habitats. Hint:
they have four legs and love treats!
