Marmots in Peril as Climate Cracks | Harrisburg News
Description
Colorado’s yellow-bellied marmots are in crisis—over 100 died this winter due to record-low snowpack, which stripped away vital insulation from their burrows. Compounded by last summer’s drought, which starved them of plant-based hydration, the population is under severe stress. This long-running study, dating back to 1962, now faces funding collapse, forcing researchers to launch wild campaigns: a “Marmot Tears” beer with a local brewery, a viral “Fat Marmot Week” contest, and even an OnlyFans page—all to keep their climate-change sentinel species alive and their science going.
