Restoring a unique natural heritage in the Falkland Islands

  • On the edge of the South Atlantic, the Falkland Islands are leading an ambitious initiative to restore their natural ecosystems. At the heart of this project: the reintroduction of tussac grass, an endemic grass essential to biodiversity and climate resilience.

  • Long threatened by overexploitation and changes in land use, this plant nevertheless plays a vital role. It provides a habitat for seabirds, sea lions and numerous invertebrates. Its disappearance has weakened local ecosystems, but today, a collective movement is organizing to bring these unique landscapes back to life.

  • A short film, commissioned by the Falkland Islands Government and directed by local filmmaker Mike Jervois, tells this story.

    This short film highlights:

    • the central ecological role of tussac grass,

    • the impact of its historical decline,

    • the community restoration and resilience efforts being carried out today.

  • "Eco comes from the Greek: to dwell. It's where we live. It's the foundation of everything."

    A powerful reminder that nature isn't just our environment: it's our home.

    Thank you to the Falkland Islands Government and Mike Jervois for sharing this film and making it possible to showcase local action for climate and biodiversity.
