Zino's Petrel at GIAM congress in October 2010

From the 30th October to the 1st November 2010, Catarina & Hugo, owners of Madeira Wind Birds, were some of the speakers of the VII Congresso Ibérico de Aves Marinhas (VII Iberian Congress of Seabirds) which took place in Santurtzi, Bilbao - Spain. The congress was organized by GIAM - Grupo Ibérico de Aves Marinhas (Iberian Group of Seabirds) who invited Catarina and Hugo for 2 different presentations: "Zino's Petrels history and conservation" and "Madeira Wind Bird's Pelagic Expeditions".

The presentation about Zino's Petrel aroused some discussion and raised even more the awareness for this threatened species by the congress' participants. This way we here publish the presentation made there.
