Episode Synopsis

South Africa’s Marion Island is being overrun by more than a million house mice. And as the growing population runs out of their normal food, they’re increasingly turning to the island’s seabirds as an alternative source of nourishment. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Dr Anton Wolfaardt of Mouse-Free Marion about its project to rid the island of the rodents.
