Australia removed rabbits; petrel colony grew to over 800 breeding pairs

This pivotal action mitigated serious threats to their habitat and reproductive success, leading to over 800 breeding pairs by 2000, with annual offspring exceeding 400. To further bolster the species, a second breeding colony was initiated on Boondelbah Island, emphasizing the need for ongoing protective measures.
