Research reveals insights into the rare coastal marten, an adorable carnivore


Oregon State University researchers have painted a clearer picture of the coastal marten, a secretive, ferret-sized forest carnivore renowned for its cuteness but nearly driven to extinction by human activity in the 20th century.

Scientists from OSU’s Institute for Natural Resources led a three-month project that used non-invasive survey tools – hair snares and remote cameras – to collect marten population and habitat data in a 150-square-mile area east of the northern California town of Klamath in 2022.
