Where the Fight to Save the Galápagos Petrel Began

In 1982, a pioneering effort began at Cerro Pajas, Floreana, to protect the critically endangered Galápagos petrel. Scientists, park rangers, and conservation practitioners controlled introduced species, monitored nests, and tested new techniques. The results showed that science, sustained management, and collaboration could improve the breeding success of this threatened seabird population.
