The Mouse-Free Marion Project’s new poster illustrates the four ACAP-listed petrels that breed on Marion Island

These four petrels that breed on Marion Island are all at risk from predation by mice …

In January 2024, the Saving Marion Island’s Seabirds: The Mouse-Free Marion (MFM) Project released an art poster “Albatrosses on Marion Island”.  The poster depicted the four Marion Island breeding albatrosses, Grey-headed, Light-mantled, Sooty and Wandering, that are all susceptible to predation by the island’s introduced House Mice.  The paintings of each albatross were taken from an infographic series being produced for all 31 species of albatrosses and petrels listed by the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels.

The Mouse-Free Marion Project has now released a second poster based on ACAP Species Infographics that feature four more ACAP-listed seabirds that breed on Marion Island and are also at risk of predation by mice.  They are the Grey, Northern Giant, Southern Giant and White-chinned Petrels.

The two posters have been produced for the MFM Project by Thai illustrator Namasri ‘Namo’ Niumim, who resides in Bangkok.  Namo, who works in gouache, graduated from the School of Architecture and Design, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design.  She has illustrated all the 21 ACAP Species Infographics produced to date.

Both posters can be downloaded from the MFM website and used in support of the conservation of seabirds on Marion Island and elsewhere.  They join a series of 34 MFM Project photographic posters designed pro bono by Michelle Risi, which are also available in an album on the MFM Project’s Facebook page.

With thanks to Namo Niumim.
