The Orkney Native Wildlife Project (ONWP) aims to protect Orkney’s unique and globally important wildlife, and the benefits that it provides for local people, from an invasive non-native predator: the stoat. Stoats pose a serious threat to the Orkney vole, and many birds including hen harriers, short-eared owls, red-throated divers, waders, and seabirds.

This project works with hundreds of landowners in the local community to undertake the largest stoat eradication of an inhabited area anywhere in the world.
