“The Chinese Wild Bird Federation (CWBF) is also conducting a feasibility study on a project to attract Short-tailed Albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) to an island in their former range, Pengjia Island, north of Taiwan proper. As there are already populations on the nearby Diaoyutai Islands, the use of decoys and vocalizations are being explored to get the globally threatened species to return to previous breeding colonies. In the 1950's Pengjia Island used to be home to millions of breeding albatross every year.”
