Folder ACAP Species Assessments

The ACAP Species Assessments contain the most recent scientific information regarding albatross and petrel species listed under the Agreement. These assessments provide data on each species' population status and trends, their distribution, the threats they face both at breeding sites and at sea, as well as the conservation measures that are in place to protect them. 

The current global threatened status of each species is shown below as per the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Version 2020-2.
