The Galapagos
petrel is an endemic marine bird that nests in areas of high humidity in the
highlands (generally above 200 metres (660 ft) elevation) of five islands
of the Galapagos
Archipelago (islands San
Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santiago, Floreana, and Isabela). In
the past, the petrel population was severely affected by introduced mammals.
Controls at the islands try to limit the introduction of foreign animals
and plant life.
