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 2024 launch date!
REp THe ROLL CALL
Check back for ecodog-themed goods designed to
sprinkle some of their star power into everyday life
and to spark inspiring conservation conversations:
• Playing Card Deck

A portion of all proceeds will go to allied
organizations across the ecodog world.
Ecodog PEOPLE UNITED
Our forum pages will provide a place for ecodog professionals, the ecodog curious, and supporters to connect and converge toward common causes, away from the noise and naysayers too often crowding social media platforms. Here in this synergistic space on the web, skills and instincts can get honed, for the nurturing of nature!

Canines and COLLABs
A Quick Guide to Ecodogs and the Google MyMap that I developed in the process of making the pictorial map
are just the beginning for Ecodog Roll Call, and they're themselves 'in progress.' I'm all ears in welcoming any additional data, corrections, clarifications, or requests
for removal. This living map project will evolve as we do.
Over fall and winter, I'll be recruiting candidates for the
Roll Call's adoption program and making portraits of the dogs on that roster. Prospective adoptable ecodogs will be working as sniffers for science, zoo buddies, livestock guardians, crime fighters, and/or biosecurity defenders,
or they'll be involved in unique or emerging ecodog efforts. To nominate a dog you know, or know of, drop me a note!
