Marion Island, located in the southern Indian Ocean between South Africa and Antarctica, needs our urgent help. The island is home to some two million  individual seabirds representing 28 species, many of which are helpless victims to a dire threat and are being pushed towards extinction. House Mice, inadvertently introduced to Marion Island by sealers in the early 19th century, have been inflicting devastating impacts on the ecology of the island, including killing its native seabirds.

The Mouse-Free Marion Project aims to remove the mice from Marion Island in 2024. This urgent and ambitious conservation project will prevent the deaths of millions of seabirds, helping to secure a positive future for the iconic Wandering Albatross, the many other seabirds that call the island home, and indeed the ecological integrity of this important sub-Antarctic island. The removal of mice from Marion Island will represent a significant and lasting conservation legacy.
