using her own photographs.  She writes to *ACAP Latest News*: “Working with albatrosses has changed my life, so now I am working to change theirs.  I hope World Albatross Day can make people feel for albatrosses the same way they do for penguins.  They are equally deserving of our awe and attention and are in desperate need of action as they face a conservation crisis.” *Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross *Thalassarche chlororhynchos* -
