Zino's Petrel, Madeira, Natural Park of Madeira August 2010 © Ade Long
A massive forest fire on Madeira has killed several breeding adults and 65% of
this year’s chicks of Endangered Zino’s Petrel. Funds are urgently needed for
emergency conservation work before the winter sets in. see

For Australian's who don't know about this great little Pterodroma - it is
like a small Soft-plumaged Petrel. It is a summer breeder on Maderia and there
are less than 50 pairs left in the World!
