General Info
Species Status
The species has a low reproductive output due to competition with other burrowing petrels, and some years, the young and some prospectors are preyed upon by the long-eared owl. The species has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN because of its small population (estimated at 250–300 breeding pairs in 1999 and 328–378 pairs in 2016) and restricted breeding range.
