The Subantarctic Foundation for Ecosystem Research (SAFER) is a non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife research and ecological restoration in the Falkland Islands. With a focus on the four small islands in the western Falklands, SAFER conducts surveys and studies the native and introduced wildlife, aiming to restore the islands to their prime wildlife habitat.
For over a century, the presence of invasive species such as rats, mice, and rabbits negatively impacted the native biodiversity on these islands. However, since the eradication of these pest mammals in 2016, the native plant and animal populations have shown signs of improvement. SAFER continues to work towards ensuring that these islands become and remain a haven for subantarctic wildlife.
