LIFE Raft

Why prevention is better than cure with eradications

The LIFE Raft project is starting to move into the intensive monitoring phase, after two years of work by field teams to make Rathlin free of rats and ferrets. Here Anna Feeney goes out in the field to find out just what happens in the field, and how we can all take steps to prevent the return of rats, ferrets, and other invasive non-native species to Rathlin.
