VOICED: One century on, the guano boom is back

The video explores Peru's 3000 km coastline, home to over half a million seabirds and a seasonal workforce of 300. It highlights the historical and current significance of the guano industry, now sustainably managed to support organic farming. The traditional guano collection process is manual to avoid disturbing birds. Island guards protect the birds year-round, while conservation efforts have doubled seabird numbers despite overfishing threats.
