Conservation Status
Conservation hubFaces a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Indian yellow-nosed albatross faces significant threats from bycatch in fisheries and the ingestion of plastic pollution. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, ongoing efforts to reduce fishing gear impacts and monitor populations are crucial. Responsible safari tourism, particularly in regions where these birds forage or breed, can support conservation through funding research and raising awareness, helping to protect their marine environment.
The Indian yellow-nosed albatross is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks. In 2004, BirdLife International split this species from the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross; however Clements has not split it yet, and the SACC has not either, but recognises the need for a proposal.
