A global partnership

All of these organisations are working together to help albatrosses across the world. They are all represented on the BirdLife Global Seabird Programme committee which meets regularly, to share expertise and plan work together.

How you can help

There are lots of simple things you can do to help save the albatross, from making a donation to help the Albatross Task Force to sending us your stamps.
