Hop to It: Support Rabbit Research
Help us protect some of the Sierra Nevada’s most elusive, ecologically impactful, climate-sensitive, and understudied species. Since 2010, we have been conducting research the rabbits and hares of the region, keystone species that are critically important in shaping both vegetation structure and predator communities wherever they occur, yet threatened by habitat loss and alteration, climate change, and the arrival of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease.
Recently, TINS has been spearheading the formation of a Montane Rabbit Working Group for the Sierra Nevada, bringing together biologists, land managers, conservationists, and other stakeholders to better understand and safeguard mountain-dwelling lagomorphs like the White-tailed Jackrabbit and the Sierra Nevada Snowshoe Hare. To date, this initiative has no funding, and as the lead organization of this effort TINS expends considerable staff resources developing this critically important network. Your underwriting of this project will fuel strategic planning, collaborative research, data sharing, and conservation action—ensuring that these high-elevation hoppers continue to thrive in a changing world and serve as vital prey for predators like American Goshawks and the Federally Endangered Sierra Nevada Red Fox.
Join us in keeping these quiet icons of the Sierra Nevada on the map.
