PLEASE GET IN TOUCH TO BE INVOLVED!
My name is Laura. I'm the mapmaker
and I'm so grateful that you're here!
Google MyMap is the main way I'm organizing my
ongoing research, the basis for the pictorial map.
Please reach out if your ecodog work isn't yet represented
here at Ecodog Roll Call and you'd like to get it on this map!
I believe humans and wildlife share the same fate, and
dogs aren't just along for the ride. They've always been game changers in our relationship with the rest of the natural world. Ecodogs are nature's bestie.
IN THE WORKS:
Adopt-an-Ecodog
Our flagship program will invite you to send support to
paws on the ground with conservation professionals.
When you adopt an ecodog, you'll receive:
• The world map as a poster or placemat
• A portrait of your chosen canine as a postcard
• Quarterly updates from the field to your
inbox or mailbox for a year
Please stay tuned for a summer 2025 launch!
