As far as I'm aware, there are currently no plans to erect a commemorative monument or plaque for Snowy, despite her unique appearance and profound impact on Adelaide Zoo. If you also think she deserves a tangible testament to her lasting legacy, please sign this petition:

I dedicate this special video to Snow White "Snowy" the Meerkat, who passed away on 31st October. As a meerkat enthusiast who spent years dreaming of meeting her in-person before finally being able to last year, the news of her death was heartbreaking. I'm forever grateful for the time I managed to spend with her, and to all the zoo staff and volunteers at ​⁠ for ensuring Snowy's life was as long and happy as possible. May she Rest In Peace 🤍

#Conservation Success: For the first time an #InvasiveSpecies was completely removed from a large island https://www.indianapoliszoo.com/gcss/blog/conservation-lessons-from-japan/

"the Japanese Ministry of the Environment declared the eradication of an invasive species from #Amami-Oshima... The #mongooses attacked the Endangered #AmamiRabbit – a species only found in #Japan and a natural treasure of the country."

The successful eradication of the nonnative mongoose from the island of Amami-Oshima in Kagoshima Prefecture has shifted focus to Okinawa island, where the task is a much bigger challenge due to the larger population of residents. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/23/japan/society/okinawa-mongoose-eradication/ #japan #society #mongooses #animal #okinawa #amamioshima

The Environment Ministry Tuesday declared the eradication of non-native mongooses on Amami-Oshima island, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in Kagoshima Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/03/japan/japan-mongoose-eradication/ #japan #mongooses #animals #amamioshima #kagoshima #environmentministry

These innocent mongooses are hunted and poisoned, because they pose a serious danger to various native bird species and the green turtle, whose eggs they eat. 😢 The tragic consequences of the introduction of alien species into a fragile habitat. 😡 #animals #wildlife #extintion #endangeredspecies #invasivespecies #mongooses #hawaii

Africa's smallest and largest carnivores, the dwarf mongoose and the lion.

Bonus video: my very first #YouTube_Short! A funny juxtaposition that came to mind while rewatching old videos, you can tell the Meerkat Simulator video was from before I knew about Snowy! 😂

Happy #World_Meerkat_Day! 😄 Back in late May, I was able to fulfill my 3-year-long dream to visit Snowy, the world's only #white_meerkat! Her pale complexion was caused by #vitiligo, the onset of which occurred when she was 2 years old. Apart from needing more sun protection and becoming less active in her old age, Snowy remains a healthy member and dominant of her group! 🤍

#introduction

Hi! I have recently started as a Principal #Conservation Scientist at the Royal Society for Protection of Birds (UK). My #research aims to provide evidence to support conservation of international species, particularly in the UK Overseas Territories (#UKOTs). This is not only #birds but all #wildlife!

Previously I worked in #animalbehaviour and #evolutionary #ecology, particularly on #baboons and #mongooses.
