Can you donate just $1 for albatross??

Thank you so much to our backers so far, we really have been amazed by your generosity. However we are only at 51% funded so we still need your help. 

This project is part of the seabird challenge, and is eligible to receive an extra $1000 grant towards our project if we have the highest numbers of backers by Tuesday evening (18:00 ET which is 23:00 UK time). It's not about the most money, just the number of people who have donated. 

We are currently one of the top projects but we need your help to secure the funding. Please could you consider giving anything; even $1 could make that difference. 

To those who have donated already, thank you! Would you be able to ask your partners, parents, friends or co-workers to donate just $1 each? It could make all the difference.

For your $1 you will get updates about how the project is progressing and we will be sharing our results with you. It's your chance to get involved in science, and with out your help we won't be able to do it. 

Don't forget if you want to be in with a chance to win the beautiful albatross image by David Tipling you need to donate at least $25. 

Thank you from the team and of course the albatrosses!

    You might want to post it on the link bellow (Department of Conservation New Zealand). Lots of albatross fans visit this site. http://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/

About This Project

Endangered albatrosses and other seabirds are accidentally killed in longline fisheries around the world. In the Brazilian fleet we want to test Hookpods, a new technology, designed to safely deploy hooks, so they cannot be ingested by birds. We also want to test new reusable LED lights, to replace single use light sticks that are currently disposed of in the oceans in vast numbers every day contributing to marine pollution.

Blast off!
