Climate change â€has considerably impacted their marine environment, disrupting fish stocks essential for⣠their survival.moreover, invasive species ​ like rats⤠and cats directly threaten young puffins by preying on them and interfering ‌with breeding cycles. These ‌environmental challenges compel⣠local‌ wildlife to adapt â£swiftly or risk extinction.
In ​light â¢of these urgent‌ issues, residents have⣠banded†together to initiate various conservation programs aimed at protecting puffin populations.Key efforts include:
- rescue Initiatives: Volunteers patrol beaches⣠during fledging â€season to rescue stranded baby puffins.
- Habitat Restoration: Projects focused on restoring natural environments while minimizing human ‌interference with breeding sites.
- Aware⢠Campaigns: Workshops designed to educate the public about threats facing†puffins while encouraging community involvement in conservation ​activities.
