Edin Whitehead: saving baby seabirds

The recent mass deaths of korora, little blue penguins in Northland and concerns about fate of Emperor penguins in the Antarctic have highlighted the threat of global warming to seabirds. Researcher and photographer Edin Whitehead is tracking the fate of several seabird species in northern Aotearoa, to see what changes parents are making to ensure their chicks' survival. Edin's a doctoral researcher at the University of Auckland School of Biological Sciences. She's most focused on petrels and shearwaters for her PhD but she's deeply concerned about all seabirds.
