No birdsong in the morning. No gulls squawking and swooping above the clifftops. The joys of spotting a dolphin or a seal amongst the waves. Gone. Humpback whale visits a distant memory. Hedgehogs, dormice, and water voles all consigned to the history books.
What would that mean for you, your customers, your business?
Nature in Cornwall is in trouble and needs your help. Fifty years ago, the iconic Cornish chough vanished from our cliffs, its distinctive call silenced by habitat loss and changing landscapes. But in 2001, something remarkable happened. The chough began to recolonise, and today, its continued expansion is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we give nature a helping hand. Thanks to decades of dedicated conservation, this emblem of Cornwall is not only back, it’s thriving, proving that when we work together to restore and protect habitats, we really can bring wildlife back.
