The ACAP Species Infographic for the Chatham Albatross is now available in French and Spanish

The latest ACAP Infographic, for the Vulnerable Chatham Albatross Thalassarche eremita, the 22nd to be produced in the series, is now available in the ACAP official languages of French and Spanish, as well as in English.  They have been sponsored by the New Zealand Department of Conservation with support from the Chatham Islands Landscape Restoration Trust.

It is the 18th albatross infographic to be produced, leaving just four albatrosses to go.  The next infographic, now in production, will be for the Endangered Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross Thalassarche chlororhynchos, endemic to the Tristan da Cunha islands, part of the United Kingdom Overseas Territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic.  It is being sponsored by the UK’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.  The three remaining albatross species are all endemic to New Zealand.

The ACAP Species Infographic series is designed to help inform the general public, including school learners, of the threats faced by albatrosses and what is being and can be done to combat them.  They serve to complement the more detailed and referenced ACAP Species Assessments, the concise and illustrated ACAP Species Summaries and the ACAP Photo Essay series.

The infographics produced to date may be freely downloaded at a high resolution to allow for printing professionally in two poster sizes (approximately A2 and A3).  English and Portuguese language (for a few species only) versions of infographics are available to download here, whilst French and Spanish versions can be found in their respective language menus for the website under Infographies sur les espèces and Infographía sobres las especies.

Please note they are only being made available for personal use or when engaging in activities that will aid in drawing attention to the conservation crisis faced by the world’s albatrosses and petrels – when ACAP will be pleased to receive a mention.

The infographics are created by Thai illustrator Namasri ‘Namo’ Niumim from Bangkok.
