PLANET CLIPPERTON : Island of Boobies, inside the world’s largest masked booby colony | WILDLIFE DOC
#documentary #wildlife #seabirds
Clipperton is home to the largest colony of masked boobies on Earth, more than 120,000 seabirds.
A French American ornithology team studies their feeding behaviour and the fish they bring back from the open ocean, crucial indicators of the health of the Eastern Pacific.
These birds act as living barometers of the marine ecosystem, revealing changes long before humans can detect them.
