 At the request of ACAP’s Emeritus Information Officer, Namo has produced and donated an original artwork for an auction to raise funds for the [Mouse-Free Marion Project](https://mousefreemarion.org/).  The project aims to eradicate the island’s introduced House Mice that have taken to attacking and killing breeding seabirds and their chicks, including the [Vulnerable](https://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/snowy-albatross-diomedea-exulans) Wandering Albatross *Diomedea exulans*.  The auction will take place aboard the cruise ship *[MSC Musica](https://www.msccruises.co.za/our-cruises/ships/msc-musica)* at the end of the month.  The ship will sail to the waters of the Prince Edward Islands with 1850 birdwatchers aboard on a voyage entitled [Flock to Marion AGAIN! 2025](https://www.birdlife.org.za/flock-to-marion-again-2025/).  Namo writes “My donated artwork shows a couple of [Endangered](https://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/grey-headed-albatross-thalassarche-chrysostoma/summary) Grey-headed Albatrosses *Thalassarche chrysostoma* sitting calmly while the sun is setting behind them.”

The ACAP Species Infographic for the Wandering Albatross was co-published by ACAP and the Mouse-Free Marion Project*

 The next ACAP Species Infographic to be illustrated by Namo will be for the Southern Giant Petrel *M. giganteus*, completing the series for all the eight ACAP-listed species that breed on Marion Island.
