# ACAP’s annual collaboration with Artists & Biologists Unite for Nature marking World Albatross Day ends with a compilation poster

 As part of its activities to mark World Albatross Day ([WAD2025](https://www.acap.aq/world-albatross-day/wad2025-effects-of-disease)) and its theme of “Effects of Disease” on 19 June this year, ACAP collaborated, for the sixth year running, with the international collective Artists & Biologists Unite for Nature ([ABUN](https://abun4nature.org/)) to produce [40 artworks](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1066982812121688&type=3) depicting the [Endangered](https://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/amsterdam-albatross-diomedea-amsterdamensis) Amsterdam Albatross *Diomedea amsterdamensis* and the [Endangered](https://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/indian-yellow-nosed-albatross-thalassarche-carteri) Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross *Thalassarche carteri*.* *From this collection, seven paintings were chosen to illustrate art posters, available for downloading and non-commercial use.

 As in previous years, to wrap up ABUN Project #49 “Effects of Disease” all the paintings have been combined into a single poster by ABUN’s Marion Schön, who led the collaboration this year, having taken over as Administrator from ABUN Co-founder and long-time ACAP supporter, Kitty Harvill.

 All the #49 paintings can be viewed in an [album](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1066982812121688&type=3) on ACAP’s Facebook page.  The eight WAD2025 posters are also available from the ACAP [album store](https://www.facebook.com/AlbatrossesandPetrels/photos_albums), as are paintings from earlier collaborations with ABUN since the inaugural World Albatross Day in 2020.

 With thanks to Marion Schön.
