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) 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) to produce 40 artworks depicting the Endangered Amsterdam Albatross Diomedea amsterdamensis and the Endangered 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 on ACAP’s Facebook page.  The eight WAD2025 posters are also available from the ACAP album store, as are paintings from earlier collaborations with ABUN since the inaugural World Albatross Day in 2020.

With thanks to Marion Schön.
