Between October and November, thousands of young shearwaters leave their nests to begin their journey across the ocean. During this period, the birds can become disoriented by artificial lighting and fall into urban areas, requiring public assistance to safely return to their habitat.
The SOS Cagarro campaign calls for everyone's participation in the collection and rescue of these seabirds, contributing to the preservation of one of the most emblematic species of the Azores.
If you find a shearwater, carefully collect it, place it in a cardboard box, and contact the regional support line for guidance.
Protecting the shearwater is everyone's responsibility. With a small gesture, you can help ensure the success of its migration and the conservation of this unique species of our natural heritage.
