 In Iceland, a unique conservation effort is underway during puffling season. Thousands of baby puffins are being rescued from inland areas where they've been led astray by city lights and lack of moonlight. Passionate locals and visitors come together to help these lost chicks, weighing and reporting their findings online. This collaborative effort aims to ensure the survival of Iceland's puffin population, which has decreased by 70% over the past 30 years due to climate change and other factors.
