Puffins on the Great Saltee, Ireland In the summer of 2024, I finally had the chance to go on a trip that included puffin-watching. One thing led to another. My obsession with puffins spiralled into a profound interest in birds as a whole. Birds are a sentinel species. Their wellbeing is indicative of the health of the environment. They play a vital role in biodiversity. Caring about them leads to caring about other beings and the environment, and this sentiment is crucial in this climate, whether in the literal or political sense.
