Threats to Albatross Populations and Conservation Efforts

The video discusses the life and challenges of the albatross, a long-lived bird that nests on remote islands and raises one chick at a time. Albatrosses face threats from long-line fishing, which uses baited hooks that can harm them. Conservation efforts include treaties and fishing practices to reduce harm, such as running lines at night. Research is ongoing to mitigate these threats for both ecological and commercial reasons.
