A "really important" species of vole is being reintroduced after becoming extinct in Cornwall in the 1990s.

Water voles, which are water-based animals living on the edges of ponds and rivers, declined in the UK due to habitat loss and American mink being released into the wild.

About 150 water voles are being released into southern Cornwall.

Kernow Conservation said mink, which had previously "wiped out" vole populations, would be monitored.

Reintroduction project manager Alana Scott said: "They [water voles] are a really important species as a prey species for other predators.

"Larger creatures such as otters and herons would often eat water voles, so, by reintroducing them, we're sort of restocking for larger species."

Water voles have a varied diet, which includes more than 200 plant species, meaning their feeding and burrowing activities also create habitats and opportunities for many other animals.
