Hope for Washington's Smallest Rabbit

Original: Hope for Washington’s Smallest Rabbit

Conservationists in Washington State are highlighting renewed hope for the pygmy rabbit, the state's smallest and one of its most endangered rabbit species. The animal, which depends on shrinking sagebrush habitat in the Columbia Basin, has been the focus of breeding and reintroduction efforts for years. Conservation groups say recent progress offers the species a chance at recovery, though habitat loss remains the central threat.

Why now: Ongoing conservation and reintroduction efforts for the endangered pygmy rabbit have drawn fresh attention to the species' fate.
