| Although the world population of this widespread albatross is approximately 3 million birds, the Black-browed Albatross is currently suffering a huge decline. In just 5 years, the breeding colonies on the Falkland Islands lost 86000 pairs. It is the albatross most commonly killed as a by-catch of the long-line fishing industry. |
| Help save albatrosses from the threat of long-line fishing. Buy a print (A4 or A3) of any albatross photo on this website and I will donate all profits from the sale to Birdlife International's Save the Albatross Campaign. Alternatively, you can donate directly on their website by clicking on the banner below. |
