Accordingly, fluctuations in local populations may substantially affect the global conservation status of these species. The Falkland Islands Seabird Monitoring Programme (FISMP) monitors Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) at 11 sites (17 colonies), Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes c. chrysocome) and Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) at five sites (14 colonies) and Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) at one site (one colony).

  • February/March 2022 – Falklands, Lost Archipelago – Part 1
    February/March 2022 – Falklands, lost archipelago – Part 1 This unique itinerary will bring us to visit 4 island of this remote nature paradise flying on small planes and driving 4x4 vehicles. 26 February – 05 March 2022 Exclusive departure for our group, 10 persons max. During this adventure we will have the rare opportunity of observing 4 different penguin species species (if we are lucky even 6, sometimes Macaroni breed among Rockhopper and Chinstrap are rare visitors in Sounders) and among them the King Penguin, as well as Sea Lions and Elephant Seals, Cormorants and Albatros. We will fly over the archipelago 4 times on board small airplanes, the relatively low level flying provides passengers with exceptional views of the Falklands coastlines and inland scenery. All this in the comfort of the local Lodges. This expedition will be guided by Piero Bosco. PROGRAM 26 – 27 February Meet at Punta Arenas airport and flight Punta Arenas – Mount Pleasant. Arrive Mount Pleasant Airport early afternoon, transfer by Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS) 8-seater Britten Norman Islander aircraft to Port Howard, West Falkland Island. Port Howard is a pictoresque traditional settlement on the west side of the Falkland Sound. It is the oldest and biggest sheep farm in West Falkland: 200.000 ectars and about 40.000 ships producing every year 650 balls of wool. Mount Maria, the third highest mount of the Falkland, dominates the settlement. Although wildlife isn't the main attraction of Port Howard, a colony of Papua Penguins and a large number of waterfowl can be encountered on the excursion to Gladstone Bay, only an hour's drive from the settlement.

  • The Sea Lion Islands: a Chronological History
    The Sea Lion Islands: A Chronological History D. Bailey, Historian in Residence, 2019 Sea Lion Island is the most Southerly occupied Island in the Falklands archipelago and is the largest of the ‘Sea Lion Islands’ group. They first appear named on a map of ‘Hawkins Maidenland’ in 1689 and have been known as the Sea Lion Islands since. Not a great deal is known about Sea Lion Island’s history between its discovery and the mid- nineteenth century but it is safe to assume that the bountiful stocks of seals and sea lions were brutally exploited by the many (predominantly American) sealers visiting the Falklands to take advantage of their lack of protection. In terms of ownership, the islands are first mentioned included in a grant issued to Alexander Ross and Samuel Lafone (who lent his name to Lafonia) in 1846. In their early prospectus (1849) they mention the islands’ use for the profitable sealing industry that had been steadily wiping out the populations on the islands for the best part of a hundred years. The Sea Lion Islands are referred to as being “favourite resorts of these valuable animals” but it was later noted that “…Hitherto, these valuable rookeries have been so much poached by French and American adventurers and fished in so indiscriminate a manner, that on some of the best grounds the animals are becoming shy and scarce;…” As with many of the Falkland Islands, Sea Lion Island does have a rich maritime history often linked either to the perilous waters around Cape Horn or to the shallow reefs off the island itself.

  • A Review of the Abundance and Distribution of Striated Caracaras Phalcoboenus Australis on the Falkland Islands Micky Reeves &Am
    A review of the abundance and distribution of Striated Caracaras Phalcoboenus australis on the Falkland Islands Aniket Sardana Micky Reeves & Sarah Crofts Falklands Conservation, May 2015 The authors dedicate this report to Mr. Ian Strange and Mr. Robin Woods whose earlier surveys laid much ground work. This work was funded by: Falklands Conservation is a company limited by guarantee in England & Wales #3661322 and Registered Charity #1073859. Registered as an Overseas Company in the Falkland Islands. Roy Smith “These birds, generally known among sealers by the name of “Johnny” rook, partake of the form and nature of the hawk and crow… Their claws are armed with large and strong talons, like those of an eagle; they are exceedingly bold and the most mischievous of all the feathered creation. The sailors who visit these islands, being often much vexed at their predatory tricks, have bestowed different names upon them, characteristic of their nature, as flying monkeys, flying devils….” Charles Bernard 1812‐13 “A tameness or lack of wariness is an example of the loss of defensive adaptations.... an ecological naiveté…these animals aren’t imbeciles. Evolution has merely prepared them for a life in a world that is simpler and more innocent”…. where humans are entirely outside their experience. David Quammen (Island Biography in an age of extinction) 1996 1 ABSTRACT The Falkland Islands are globally important for the Striated Caracaras (Phalcoboenus australis). They reside mainly on the outer islands of the archipelago in strong associated with seabird populations, and where human interference is relatively low. A survey of the breeding population conducted in the austral summers of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 indicates that the current population is likely to be the highest it has been for perhaps the last 100 years.

  • 8 Days South Georgia Special Incl. Steeple Jason, Carcass Island, Falkland Islands - Birding Experience the Best of the Sub-Antarctic
    8 days South Georgia Special incl. Steeple Jason, Carcass Island, Falkland Islands - Birding Experience the best of the sub-Antarctic Title: 8 days South Georgia Special incl. Steeple Jason, Carcass Island, Falkland Islands - Birding Dates: 5 Nov - 25 Nov, 2021 Tripcode: JNS21-21 Duration: 20 nights Ship: m/v Janssonius Embarkation: Puerto Madryn Disembarkation: Ushuaia Language: English speaking voyage ITINERARY PLEASE NOTE: All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on local ice and weather conditions and in order to take advantage of opportunities to see wildlife. The on-board expedition leader determines the final itinerary. Itineraries may mention places that require permission to land, which must be granted by the relevant national authorities. Such permission is not granted prior to the publishing of these itineraries. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. Average cruising speed of m/v Janssonius is 10,5 knots. Few places compare to South Georgia in terms of exotic wildlife and jaw-dropping scenery, and the Falklands are no different. On this exploratory voyage you can enjoy both, possibly touring the world’s largest black-browed albatross colony while also seeing some of the biggest breeding spots for king penguins and elephant seals on Earth – along with day after day of amazing polar scenery. Birding: - We will have at least one dedicated expedition guide in our team who will share their expert knowledge about bird species and who will be available to help you identify, photograph on deck and learn more about the birds that we see. In addition to outdoor sessions, our guide will focus on species and related information on the birds of the Antarctic in re-caps and lectures onboard.

  • Freshwater Fish in the Falklands
    Freshwater fish in the Falklands Conservation of native zebra trout Echo Goodwin, North Arm School A report by Katherine Ross to the Falkland Islands Government and Falklands Conservation, 2009. Summary • Only two species of freshwater fish, Zebra trout (Aplochiton zebra) and Falklands minnows (Galaxias maculatus) are native to the Falklands. • Brown trout (Salmo trutta) were introduced to the Falklands in the 1940’s and 1950’s. They can spend part of their life cycle at sea which has allowed them to spread across the islands causing a catastrophic decline in the distribution of zebra trout. The ways by which brown trout remove zebra trout probably include predation on juvenile fish and competition for food. • Zebra trout are long lived and therefore adult populations may persist for many years where juveniles no longer survive. Such populations can become extinct suddenly. • Freshwater fish of the Falklands were last surveyed in 1999. • This project investigated the distribution of freshwater fish in West and East Falkland by electrofishing, netting and visual surveys and identified conservation priorities for zebra trout. • Zebra trout populations were found in Lafonia, the south of West Falkland and Port Howard. Brown trout were found across much of Lafonia where their range appears to have expanded since 1999. • Once brown trout have invaded a catchment they are very difficult to remove. Controlling the spread of brown trout is therefore an urgent priority if zebra trout are to be conserved. • Freshwater habitats where zebra trout were found were generally in good condition but in some areas perched culverts may prevent juvenile zebra trout from returning to freshwaters (we think larval zebra trout spend their first few months at sea).

  • The Falkland Islands by Dr. Madeline Kalbach Travel Study Is One of The
    December 2017 The Falkland Islands By Dr. Madeline Kalbach Travel study is one of the best ways to learn about wildlife and wildlife behaviour whether here on the Refuge or in far-away places. I was lucky enough to go on travel study with the University of Calgary for three weeks in October and November, 2017. This article covers the first two weeks of my wildlife study sojourn which took place in the Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands are an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom. They are self-governing and financially viable. The archipelago has its own constitution, and by it the UK is responsible for their defence and foreign affairs. The Falklands are a cluster of isles 350 kilometers east of Tierra del Fuego at the Southern tip of South America. East Falkland is the largest island in the archipelago, while West Falkland is the second largest. Other islands, of which there are more than 750, are scattered around the edges of East and West Falkland. The large and most visited of the outer islands offers something different, both in terms of flora, fauna, and natural beauty. The hospitality of the hosts on the outer islands and the wildlife have made it a trip to remember. It is a wonderful experience to be among and with folks who are conservation minded, hold the wildlife in high regard, and do everything they can to protect it. The lodges are located on working farms. Sheep are the mainstay for their wool as well as for meat. PHOTO: The King Penguin is the second largest of the penguins.
