Madeira Wind
Birds is an eco-tourism company that embraces the principles
of sustainable tourism, contributing to the conservation and interpretation
of the natural heritage of Madeira's Archipelago. Our services
are specialized in the observation of endemic and indigenous species
of birds and plants.
Madeira
Island is called the "Seabirds treasure" because here
you can see several species such as the Cory's Shearwater,
Little Shearwater, Madeira Storm Petrel,
Bulwer's Petrel and especially the endangered
Zino's Petrel that only breeds in the Madeira
Island mountains.
Join us and you can
take a good look to the endemic Long-toed Pigeon, Madeira
Firecrest and Madeira Chaffinch and
do a night expedition to hear the Zino's Petrel
calls. Several other species restricted to Madeira and Canaries
can be found such as the Berthelot's Pipit, Canary
and the Plain Swift.
The Madeira Island presents a primitive
flora that includes 165 endemic species. The relic of the this
flora is the Laurel Forest that received in 1999 the award of
World Natural Heritage of UNESCO.
