There are no toads, reptiles and terrestrial mammals on the island. Rabbits, rats and mice are all brought by ships. Seabirds are clustered, and many seabirds are an important economic resource-puffins are edible and down ducks are available.

At the same time, the Faroe Islands region is rich in fish and sheep industry. Natural plants include moss, weeds and mountain swamp plants. The west wind is strong here. There are no natural trees on the island due to frequent strong winds; But some wind-resistant trees have been planted in protective plantations.
