Kevin Hollinrake MP has joined forces with a group of seven wildlife organisations to stand up for the puffin as part of the MP Species Champion Project.
He is working to bring political support to the protection and promotion of this threatened species. The puffin can be seen on the Yorkshire East Coast. Mr. Hollinrake’s constituency includes Filey.
There have been large population declines over much of the species’ European range, and in 2015 the puffin was added to the Red list of UK Birds of Conservation Concern.
