Endangered bird populations on Marion Island in South Africa are under threat from mouse attacks due to climate change. A $29 million eradication project aims to combat the issue by spreading rodenticide-laced cereal pellets via helicopters in 2027.

BirdLife South Africa and the Mouse-Free Marion Project plan extensive measures to protect the island's 29 seabird species, 19 of which are at risk of local extinction.
