🚨Calling for seabird data!

🚢We are collating seabird tracking data for the Humboldt Current region to assess fisheries bycatch risk.

🤝This is a collaborative project with @GlobalFishWatch funded by @NFWFnews.

And you can be part of it!

This trial provides a foundation for future kuaka translocations, with insights into diet, growth, and hand-rearing protocols to establish a new colony. A vital step toward securing the future of this endangered seabird! More here: https://t.co/CHhoLSITw9

1/4 #BOUsci24 #Break
The critically endangered kuaka/Whenua Hou diving petrel are restricted to a single dune system. Facing threats from light pollution, erosion and climate change, #translocation offers hope - but petrels must be hand-reared to reset their philopatric nature

3/4 #BOUsci24 #Break
All 🔟 hand-reared chicks fledged successfully🎉
Hand-reared🐥fledged at the same mass as naturally-reared chicks, and had slightly longer wing lengths. Hand-reared chicks fledged within the anticipated ~2 weeks & slightly earlier than naturally-reared chicks

Join us in celebrating 20 years of the BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database!🎉

The Database has become one of the most comprehensive marine conservation collaborations in the world. 🌊🌎

It hosts one of the largest collection of seabird tracking data in existence, helping address the growing threats to seabirds and the marine environment in general.🗺

A new study published today highlights the remarkable achievements of this world-leading dataset, currently hosting more than 43 million location records and 55,000 tracks from 168 seabird species in 55 countries.🐦💧

Very exciting to see this celebration of the work of so many people who care about seabirds 🌊 🥳

We'd love to see any new seabird tracking data for the next 20 years of marine conservation!

Work with us!

We're looking for a spatial analyst interested in conservation & collaboration to join BirdLife in Cambridge, UK, mainly mapping seabirds (https://t.co/T6OhO35iJP) & their sensitivity to offshore wind farms (https://t.co/OFsM9OEWwK).

🚨Paper Alert🚨

🧐Assessing 90% of reported 🌏global #MPA coverage, we show:

🪄1/4 is not implemented (only declared) 📣

🚫1/3 not compatible with #biodiversity #conservation 🐟

➡️We need accountability for MPA quality, not only quantity.

What a great initiative this #InternationalWomensDay to highlight and connect women #seabirders across the world! #seabirds #ornithology

Paywall lifted: Environmentalists say new protections for seabirds from longline fishing aren't enough to protect endangered species whose populations have crashed by a third in the past decade.
