Interview - Seabirds in crisis

Global warming is one of the most important stories of our time, and I am always looking for new ways to cover it. I found such a fresh angle in the form of an English baron who is passionate about protecting the seabirds.
Adam Nicolson, who is the grandson of Vita Sackville-West, the friend and lover of Virginia Woolf, was given a deserted, tiny, Scottish island group for his 21st birthday. A bit unusual, I know, but this is how he came close to the mysterious seabirds.
He has now written the book "The seabirds´cry. The lives and loves of puffins, gannets, and other ocean voyagers”, which is both terrifying and entertaining. Terrifying because the bird population is under extreme pressure, much due to climate change. Entertaining because seabirds are amazing, and Nicolson takes the reader into their vivid world with panache. Interviewing him was indeed very easy: He spoke with such eloquence and flair, that it was just a matter of clinging onto my pen and letting it fly across the page. His book was later translated into Norwegian.
