Conservation Status
Conservation hubFaces a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Antipodean albatross faces significant threats from longline fishing, where they can become accidentally caught. While recovery programs are underway, including efforts to reduce fishing bycatch, their population continues to decline. Responsible safari tourism can help by supporting conservation organizations and raising awareness about the challenges these magnificent birds face.
The Antipodean albatross is a large seabird in the albatross family. Its recognition as more than a subspecies of the wandering albatross is relatively recent, and still not accepted by all authorities. Antipodean albatrosses are smaller than other former wandering albatrosses, now called snowy albatrosses, and breed in predominantly brown plumage, but are otherwise difficult to distinguish from young snowy albatrosses.
