The Kit Fox keeps other carnivorous predators populations consistent. Predators, such as the red fox and coyotes, prey on pet dogs and cats and even people's gardens (Clark, 2007). Species such as these are non-native to the San Joaquin environment, if there are enough Kit Foxes in this area the non-natives will have a species to compete with and all of the populations will remain consistent. The Kit Fox prevents species like these from running wild throughout the valley, along with this it is proven that the more Kit Foxes in the area the less likely chance of the red fox or coyote preying on pet dogs and cats.

    The Kit Fox is driven towards extinction by humans. There are many ways that we can help save this helpless creature from extinction. The endangerment  of the San Joaquin Kit Fox is not a  background extinction, it is all caused by humans and our desperate need for our local environment and precious animals to be gone due to urbanization. Each of us as individuals can simply sign a petition or make a small donation to a non profit, small things can make a big difference. We need to stand up against big companies that tell us there is no harm being done to save creature that seem as though they make little difference but actually completing the habitat. We are causing this so we can stop this. Help now!
