Fishing to extinction - It is estimated that an extra 700 male and 1600 female Antipodean albatrosses are killed every year—on top of birds that die of natural causes. On Antipodes Island, there is now a severe population imbalance, with at least twice as many males as females. As that disparity has increased, male Antipodean albatrosses have begun courting and pairing up with each other.
Shot on assignment for New ZealandGeographic Issue: 182 July /August 2023.
