  • Zino’s Petrel

    Zino’s Petrel

    Pterodroma madeira | Zino’s Petrel (EN) | Freira-da-Madeira (PT)

    This is an endemic marine bird from the North Atlantic whose only breeding territory are the Madeira island mountains, above 1600 meters. 

    Several threats to its habitat such as domestic herbivores destroying nesting areas, or the capture of egg and chicks by humans, rats and domestic cats, have led to its almost extinction. Since 1987 several actions have enabled its protection, although this is still an endangered species.
