Take Action to Protect River Otters
The best way to help River Otters is to conserve their natural habitat - this means protecting natural areas like watersheds from development and agriculture. It's also important to keep our water systems clean so that pollutants don't end up in our rivers where river otters live.
By completing ‘Eco Activity #37: Otter’s eye view’ you can observe a biologist’s amazing footage of river otters in the Yukon! Follow along to watch these important animals in their natural habitat and begin to understand why we must protect them.
If you would like to take your action a step further, become an Earth Ranger to adopt your very own river otter! , Adopting a river otter contributes to supporting the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) as they work to protect the Saskatchewan River Delta, home to hundreds of plant and animal species like the river otter.
