St Helen’s Island conservation project protects seabirds from common pests

The project goal is to eradicate the rat population from the island using non-bioaccumulative rodenticides while ensuring no detrimental effect to the environment or non-target species. This will prevent the predation of the eggs and chicks of ground nesting bird populations, helping to restore, enhance and protect the seabirds and their habitat.
