Internationally, the number of albatrosses caught by fishing boats has decreased over time, which looks like an improvement. In reality, says Stephanie Borrelle from BirdLife International, there are simply fewer albatrosses to catch.
If nothing changes, Antipodean albatrosses will become extinct within her lifetime. She’s frustrated: the problem is fixable, and the solutions pretty simple. “It’s really just about getting people on board. They’ve been faffing about for 25 or 30 years and the measures are still the same.”
