Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. An albatross can cross an ocean without flapping its wings for miles, survive for decades, return to the same remote island year after year-and still be brought down by something as small as a fishing hook.The Last Albatross is the story of one of the most extraordinary families of birds on Earth and the rapidly changing world they must now survive.From the immense wandering albatross riding the winds of the Southern Ocean to Wisdom, the legendary Laysan Albatross whose documented life stretches back to 1956, these birds live on a scale that challenges the human imagination. They travel thousands of miles across open water, form enduring partnerships, raise a single chick with extraordinary investment, and navigate back to islands that may be little more than specks in the world's largest oceans.But distance no longer guarantees safety.Fishing bycatch, invasive predators, plastic pollution, habitat loss, disease, rising seas, and a changing climate are placing pressure on species whose survival strategy depends upon long lives and the repeated return of experienced adults. Of the world's twenty-two recognized albatross species, twenty-one are currently classified as threatened or Near Threatened.Yet this is not an obituary.Across fishing fleets, remote islands, laboratories, conservation programs, and international agreements, people are finding ways to reduce the danger. Bird-scaring lines and safer fishing practices have cut albatross deaths dramatically in some fisheries. Introduced predators have been removed from islands. New breeding colonies have been encouraged. And the Short-tailed Albatross-a species once believed extinct-has returned from the edge to number in the thousands.Blending natural history, conservation science, remarkable true stories, and the emotional power of animals whose lives unfold mostly beyond human sight, The Last Albatross asks a simple but urgent question: What are we willing to do while there are still albatrosses in the sky?For readers who love wildlife, oceans, conservation, and beautifully told stories about the natural world, The Last Albatross is ultimately a book about wonder, loss, responsibility-and the possibility of return.
