After 50 years of one #seabird colony fighting its way back from near #extinction, it now faces new threats https://phys.org/news/2023-07-years-seabird-colony-extinction-threats.html

"#SkomerIsland off the coast of #Wales has witnessed a remarkable resurgence in its #guillemot population... population decline was probably caused by #OilPollution... The population has consistently grown at an annual rate of about 5% since the 1980s... But #seabirds now face pressing threats—with #ClimateChange emerging as one of the most significant challenges."

After 50 years of one seabird colony fighting its way back from near extinction, it now faces new threats

Over the past few decades, Skomer Island off the south coast of Wales has witnessed a remarkable resurgence in its guillemot population. Before 1930, Skomer was home to over 100,000 common guillemots. But by the end of the second world war, this number had plummeted by about 95% and continued to decline for the next few decades.
