    BirdLife International and ACAP Latest News

    Global Birdfair raising funds for BirdLife International

    Global Birdfair in 2025 will be supporting BirdLife’s conservation work to safeguard the Antipodean Albatross and other endangered seabirds from the threat of bycatch in longline fisheries in the Pacific.

    The Global Birdfair 2025 Conservation Project, Safeguarding Ocean Species, will focus on tackling threats facing our magnificent seabirds in the southern Pacific by increasing the use of bycatch mitigation measures on longline fishing vessels. The project will reduce accidental killing of species such as the Antipodean Albatross and create greater awareness of this problem on a global scale.   

    The bait and dead fish surrounding fishing vessels represent a rich feeding ground, often attracting hundreds of seabirds. Sadly, for many seabirds, including albatross, this meal is often their last. Incidental capture (also known as bycatch) in fishing gear is the most pervasive threat to these birds.
