What I wanted to do really, the aim of it was to educate people about the importance of the island for wildlife.
Making people aware of their behaviour, but also making sure that people don't.
they're going to show people the good places that they can go where they're not causing too much disturbance.
So they're going to advise them, look, you can climb to the top of the hill and you'll get a great view.
You'll see all of the islands, but don't go down there because you'll disturb a colony.
All of the things that are having an impact on the island.
I think the time has come now in all these Natura communities that people are starting to see, the attitude is changing and people are starting to see
that wildlife and conservation also has an economical benefit to the local community, whether that is through employment or through, you know, visitors.
You can't promote an island for wildlife if there's no wildlife left on it.
And if a place has been destroyed, it's not that attractive anymore.
