The Falkland Islands really is an exceptional place for wildlife - we have to ensure that future generations are able to experience and enjoy this wealth of animals, birds and plants. Did you know...? • Approximately 65% of the worlds black-browed albatrosses and 20% of southern rockhopper penguins live in the Falklands. • There are 22 internationally recognised Important Bird Areas, and 16 Important Plant Areas have been identified across the archipelago. • The rich seas support 17 species of whales, dolphins and seals. • It is the only place in the world to see the Falklands steamer duck and Cobbs wren.
