As seen in the Forest & Bird Autumn 2022 magazine - Our albatrosses need YOU!
The Antipodes albatross is one of NZ’s most at-risk seabirds, sadly now at the most severely threatened conservation status, and facing risk of extinction without our help. This artwork was created to advocate for the awareness of this endemic species and to raise funds to help protect them. It was inspired by Hannah’s voyage with Heritage Expeditions to the Subantarctic Islands – NZ’s most remote and unique islands, which collectively are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a NZ National Nature Sanctuary.
Antipodes island has rich biodiversity, rugged shorelines, sheer cliffs, bright cerulean blue waters, and is the central nesting site to the majority of the Antipodes albatross population (5,100 pairs). Their species is under threat from long-line fishing vessels, who use squid for bait; due to squid being their main diet, many Antipodes albatrosses are caught in these lines and tragically drown. In 2020, after 2 years of campaigning, Forest and Bird lobbied the NZ government to introduce a zero-bycatch goal, and today we still continue more essential work to further protect our seabirds.
