Reports on the progress of a 6-year program commenced in July 1983. Nests are examined periodically to determine breeding success and local nest density. The chief human impact has been the clearing of native forest for phosphate mining, which has reduced breeding success and increased abandonment of former nesting sites. Evaluation of the parameters for developing a predictive population model will require the full program term.
