You may have heard about the devastating forest fire on the island of Madeira which has almost completely destroyed one of the few existing breeding colonies of the endangered Zino's Petrel Pterodroma madeira. As reported on the BirdLife website, 65% of this years chicks have been killed, and BirdLife have started an appeal to attract funds for emergency conservation work.
