4.25/5

With a 3.5-meter wingspan, wandering albatrosses are the largest flying birds in the world. Threats to their survival include longline fishing and ingesting plastic. An additional risk to their Southern Hemisphere nesting sites is climate change. These marine nomads breed on subantarctic islands like Marion and Prince Edward, spending the majority of their sixty-year lifespan at sea. Urgent action is required to save these magnificent birds and their distinctive habitats because of their vulnerable conservation status.
