But in 2000, in a special millennial issue of #TheNewYorkTimesMagazine, the Utah prairie dog was featured as one of 10 species most likely to become #extinct by the next millennium. Their fate was to become a ghost #species. I wrote a book on prai­rie dogs. Every month I sent a picture of prairie dogs in different poses (one with a helmet and bazooka) to friends at #TheUtahNatureConservancy, a playful nudge for #protection.
