In this video we want to show you why experts think these voles are so important for the wetland ecosystem, tell you about what we can do to help them come back and of course show you our project!

🧐 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
===============================

This small mammal is a crucial piece of the wetland ecosystem and it punches well above its weight as it is both a keystone species and an ecosystem engineer with many other wetland species relying on the water vole for their survival.

It was a once common sight along waterways in the UK numbering in the millions but unfortunately, the species has declined significantly in the last 20 years and this is why we have decided to reintroduce them in Cornwall this summer!
