Landmark programme to remove invasive rodents sees remarkable recovery of Manx Shearwater and other threatened species on the Calf of Man.

Manx National Heritage (MNH) and Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) are delighted to have won the award for Environmental or Sustainable Initiative of the Year at the Media Isle of Man Awards for Excellence for their long-term partnership work on the Calf of Man.

Since 2012, the two charities have collaborated on an enduring conservation project that has transformed the ecological outlook for the incredible island nature reserve, working to remove invasive species and restore natural habitats, enabling the return of key seabird populations, particularly ground-nesting species vulnerable to predation from brown rats (Rattus norvegicus).
