Changes to the island's vegetation, particularly since European occupation, was identified as possibly the greatest single threat to the island's fauna.
Dr Harris will explain how science and innovation have re-established vegetation to that of a remnant headland, to create an environment more conducive to the survival and thriving of bird populations.
