Boutique Capital Partners (BCP) has partnered with the Scottish Seabird Centre (SCC) to help protect Scotland’s seas and marine wildlife.
The SCC is a charity dedicated to educating people about the Scottish marine environment, and this collaboration will help SCC identify synergies between the traits of puffins to ensure their survival for generations. This comes as puffins are listed as ‘vulnerable’ on the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, with their survival threatened by climate change, food scarcity and habitat disruption.
BCP’s financial contribution to the charity will excel this reach, and their partnership is expected to expand to include research and education.
Julia Warrander, strategic consultant and member of BCP’s Advisory board, said: “As an early-stage business we strive to effectively demonstrate and communicate BCP’s personality and values, to help shape brand perception and make the firm relatable and memorable.
“We identified significant commonality between the behaviours of puffins and BCP’s persona. These striking and much-loved seabirds are distinctive, committed, loyal, adaptable, resilient, collaborative and approachable.”
Whilst, Florence Gygax, partnership development manager at SSC, added: “We are delighted to partner with BCP to support our vital work in marine conservation and education.
“Scotland’s seabird populations, including the much-loved puffin, face urgent threats from biodiversity loss and climate change. On Craigleith Island in East Scotland, puffin numbers dropped from 10,000 pairs to under 1,000 due to the invasive tree mallow, a plant that blocks nesting sites.
“Thanks to over 1,300 volunteers over 16 years, tree mallow is now under control, and the puffin numbers on the island are recovering. However, continued effort is needed to ensure their long-term survival. Partnerships like these help us tackle these challenges and preserve Scotland’s marine wildlife for future generations.”
