ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING SOUNDS of the subantarctics is the call of the lightmantled sooty albatross. Nine species of albatross breed on New Zealand’s subantarctic islands, far more than on any other island group in the world. Because of the great diversity and numbers of such seabirds, the islands are of tremendous global importance. Recent revelations (see Forest & Bird November 1990) about the possible extent of seabird deaths through fishing are worrying conservationists and wildlife managers. Photo: Graeme Taylor
