The Albatross Pin RSPB Save the Albatross is a collectible pinback featuring a design that supports the mission to save albatrosses. This pin is not handmade and is suitable for pinning on clothing, bags, or accessories to show support for the cause. It serves as a small but meaningful way to help raise awareness and contribute to the protection of these majestic birds.
The campaign was originally launched by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and BirdLife International, famously fronted by conservationist Sir David Attenborough.The Crisis: The text details how 100,000 albatrosses are accidentally killed each year by longline fishing fleets.The Cause: Massive commercial fishing boats trail lines stretching over 100 kilometers. These lines hold thousands of hooks baited with fish and squid, which attract the birds. When the albatrosses dive to steal the bait, they become hooked, are dragged underwater, and drown.
