The featured species chosen for 2022 are two of the three species of albatrosses that breed in the North Pacific: the [Black-footed](http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/black-footed-albatross-phoebastria-nigripes) *Phoebastria nigripes* and the [Laysan](http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/laysan-albatross-phoebastria-immutabilis) *P. immutabilis*.  Both these globally Near Threatened albatrosses have most of their breeding populations on the low-lying atolls of the USA’s North-Western Hawaiian Islands.  These atolls - and their breeding seabirds - are all at risk from predicted sea level rise and increases in the number and severity of storms that result in flooding, both considered a consequence of climate change.  Storm floods have even caused at least one small sandy islet to disappear into the sea, losing breeding sites for several thousand albatross pairs ([click here](https://acap.aq/latest-news/3165-where-to-for-its-birds-now-a-north-pacific-albatross-island-disappears-after-a-hurricane-hits?highlight=WyJzdG9ybSIsImJldGgiLCJiZXRoJ3MiXQ==)); elsewhere in the island chain, as on [Midway Atoll](https://acap.aq/news/news-archive/24-2011-news-archive/1070-the-short-tailed-albatrosses-of-midway-americas-favourite-chick-survives-a-storm?highlight=WyJtaWR3YXkiLCJtaWR3YXkncyIsIm1pZHdheSciLCJmbG9vZGluZyJd), storms have caused flooding of albatross nests and loss of chicks close to the shore.
