ACAP Photo Essays

A series of photo essays that features photographs of the 31 ACAP-listed species, along with information from and about their photographers.  The style of writing and the content vary to give a personal touch.  It is hoped that the series will help inspire readers to support the conservation of the world’s threatened albatrosses and petrels.  Click on the species' name to find the photographic essay in ACAP Latest News.

The ACAP Photo Essay series serves to complement the more detailed and referenced ACAP Species Assessments, the concise, illustrated ACAP Species Summaries series, and the growing ACAP Species Infographic series that can be freely downloaded as posters.
