How many puffins die a year?

Estimating the exact number of puffins that die each year is challenging due to their wide distribution and various threats they face, including predation, climate change, and human activities. However, studies indicate that significant mortality can occur, particularly during severe weather events, breeding failures, or due to food shortages. Some estimates suggest that thousands of puffins may die annually, but comprehensive data is needed for precise figures. Conservation efforts continue to monitor and protect puffin populations to mitigate these losses.
