6,500+ invasive stoats removed from Orkney Islands since 2019, boosting local wildlife.
The Orkney Native Wildlife Project has effectively removed over 6,500 invasive stoats from the Orkney Islands since 2019, enhancing local wildlife. This initiative has led to a 200% increase in Orkney vole activity and improved nesting success for ground-nesting birds, including curlews and lapwings. The project is now seeking additional funding to complete its final phase, aiming for the total eradication of stoats from the islands.
