The story of Cousin on You Tube

Here is a YouTube video courtesy of Birdlife International called “The Story of Cousin Island”. The video was made during celebrations for the 40 anniversary of Cousin Island. Cousin Island was purchased by BirdLife in 1968 to save the last remaining population of Seychelles Warbler. 40 years later, according to Birdlife, “warbler numbers have risen by 300%, and the island has been transformed from a coconut plantation to a profitable Nature Reserve which greatly benefits local people and global biodiversity.
With thanks to Birdlife.
