<p>Recorded on board the Flock to Marion Cruise, I had the incredible opportunity to speak with two field researchers, Danielle Keys and Leandri de Beer — women who’ve spent months living and working on Marion Island, one of the most remote and wild places on Earth.</p><p>They share what life is like on the island, from preparing for a 13-month stay to navigating extreme weather, and the highs and lows of field research in such an isolated environment. But more than that, they offer an honest and heartbreaking look at the devastating impact invasive mice are having on Marion’s seabirds — and why this matters.</p><p>Their first-hand experiences bring to life the urgent need for the <strong>Mouse-Free Marion Project</strong>, one of the most important island restoration projects in the world today. This is a cause that needs your support — not just for the birds, but for the sake of preserving one of the last truly wild places for future generations.</p><p>Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices <a href="https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store</a></p><p>Intro and outro music by Tony ZA <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza</a></p><p>Links from show:</p><p>Visit the Mouse-Free Marion Website - <a href="https://mousefreemarion.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mousefreemarion.org/</a></p>
