Now, let's drive back to the east end of the island, scrub and stack our fox cages for the weekend, and head back to Lauren Denhart in the Catalina Island Conservancy offices.

I think the story of their recovery is just what floors me still today, because the fox population was declining so quickly.

And the people who were working here at the time, they could have chosen to do nothing, but instead they partnered with the Institute for Wildlife Studies.

They pulled together their resources.

They educated people on what happened and decided to figure it out and did so quickly.

Like the time they had to do this.

I can't emphasize to you how quickly we lost this animal.

It's wild.
