Adorable, rainbow-beaked Atlantic puffins were once so prized that they were nearly hunted to extinction. One man is responsible for their resurgence in population: biologist Steve Kress. The birds face a new challenge: climate change. As waters warm, the puffins’ most-preferred food source is moving farther away, making it difficult for adults to feed chicks. NBC News' Kerry Sanders travels to Eastern Egg Rock Island in the Gulf of Maine to learn more.

i had no idea puffins almost went extinct, puffins are easily my favorite bird they are so freaking cute and om glad this kind man started this project

@hees0009 7 месяцев назад

This is a bit misleading of a video. Puffins as a whole were not going extinct. (For example, the Alaskan variety population was doing fine. ) this particular Eastern Atlantic variety was endangered in Maine as well as portions of southeastern Canada.

Puffins have a special place in my heart. My Dad called my daughter Puffin since the day she was born,(1987) until he passed in 2015. Ok, now I am crying.

One big hole in the story, they forgot to say they got their breeding pairs to start the new population from Canada, where three different breeds still existed.

@janetturner7489 Год назад

Had no idea that there's puffins out here, I lived close to here.

@rougecampos317 2 года назад

Most people don't understand that the ecosystem only works if everything is in order you take one away from the equation then you'll have more predators or more pray..

@johndowner2196 2 года назад

There are approximately 350 to 400 thousand Atlantic Puffins in Atlantic Canada. Approximately 12 million of breeding age worldwide and 24 million grand total. There's more to the world than just the USA ☺️✌️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

@lantrick 2 года назад

Where did they get the puffins if they were hunted in Maine yo extinction?

@sandjune2753 10 месяцев назад

I LOVE puffins, cute, they are so loyal , gentle and curious birds on the planet. They have to be protected. especially from China, we know they like to make animals extinct or near extinction for the sake of their medicine fads. Here in the UK we protect our birds. Puffins are protected here too.

@armandofernandez6614 2 года назад

This little birds the puffins we need to guard them and protect them.we're destroying our World we live in. And future generations will only read 📚 about certain animals that had fo e extinct because of our own mistakes not protecting our Mother Earth and this is why we're getting all this hurricanes and big earthquakes land slides because Mother nature is restoring and healing herself from us the humans.

Unfortunately them coming back is like reintroduce wild turkey, now hundreds of car grills and headlights are being destroyed everyday day, plus turkey have eaten all the food on the floor of the forest and now partridge, pheasant and so many other ground birds are gone, basically starve and extinct
