Summary

New Island National Nature Reserve is one of the most globally significant wildlife sites in the Falkland Islands and is in major need of restoration. Four invasive mammal species threaten the site’s fauna and are degrading the Island’s fragile habitats. Their removal is required for recovery and long-term climate resilience. This project would complete preparatory technical steps necessary for an ambitious four-species eradication programme and engage the Falkland Islands Government and community to secure support for New Island’s long-term restoration.
