The Cinderella Shearwater it is frequent in all the islandsIt is in good health and its populations are large. However, they face a serious problem related to their habitat, since the systemic urbanization of the coastline means that when they take their first flight, always in hours of darkness and guided by the stars, they confuse the lighting of streets, buildings and companies, and collide by accident, falling to the ground from where they can not start again.
The campaign, carried out by the Natural Environment and Security area directed by Isabel García, with the coordination of the La Tahonilla Wildlife Recovery Center from The lagoon, collects every year between 2,000 and 2,500 shearwaters. It will insist on the measures that citizens can adopt to help reduce accidents and thus allow less intervention by rescuers, such as reducing or turning off powerful lights on the exterior of homes, buildings and businesses, as well as notifying 900 282 228 or their own Telephone of the center 922 44 57 77 of La Tahonilla to alert of the chickens that are on the ground.
