No less than 23 of the 30 ACAP-listed species of albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters are covered by New Zealand Birds Online (click here).

Editor and Project Manager of the new online resource, Colin Miskelly of Wellington’s Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, has now done the Albatross and Petrel Agreement a service by creating a ‘Bird Group’ for New Zealand's 23 ACAP species on the project’s web site.

Simply type in “acap” in the Bird Group tab from the home page to retrieve the list.  The detailed account for any of 23 ACAP species can be conveniently retrieved (click here).
