"Endangered water voles in Wales are being fed edible glitter in a bid to save
them from extinction.
Once commonly found across south Wales, water voles are now effectively extinct
in all but a few locations, according to the Wildlife Trust.
With their future hanging in the balance, conservationists have been looking
for new ways to track the naturally shy individuals in the wild - which is
where the glitter comes in.
The Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru (INCC) hopes that by offering the
animals something sparkly to eat, the sparkle should come out the other end -
providing some much-needed answers."
