Campanha SOS Cagarro: sabes o que fazer quando encontras um cagarro?

Between October and November, many juvenile Cory’s shearwaters become disoriented by artificial lights and end up landing on roads and in inhabited areas.

📦 If you find a Cory’s shearwater:

Approach calmly and, preferably, wear gloves.
Cover it with a cloth or towel.
Place it in a ventilated cardboard box.
Take it to a campaign collection point.

📝 Report the sighting.
