Nature

On the Islands of Guernsey, Ramsar sites can be found on each one of our five islands: Guernsey, Herm, Sark, Alderney and Lihou. These wetland sites are designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, and are dedicated to protecting wetland habitats and the rare species that they support.

Guernsey is home to a huge variety of wildlife, from gannets and gulls to the humble Guernsey vole - native only to the Orkneys and Guernsey itself. The great diversity of species reflects the many different habitats that the island provides. The best way to discover the wealth of wildlife? Put on your walking shoes and venture outside, heading for the beaches, cliffs, woods and country lanes.
