Get involved

 

There are lots of simple things you can do to help save the albatross (in whatever way you can):

Stamp it out!

Give us your used postage stamps. We can convert them to cash. Encourage your school or office to start collecting. Find out how by clicking here

Support the Albatross Task Force

These dedicated individuals are working at sea with fishermen in rough conditions and onshore, showing them how to prevent albatross deaths. So far, we have five Task Force members - two in Brazil and three in South Africa. We need money to get more people and equip them. This year, we want to double our efforts! Donate money here

For children

The youth members of the RSPB, Wildlife Explorers, raised £47,000 in 2007 for the Save the Albatross campaign. Visit their webpages to find out how you can add to this total and download children's activities
