Conservation Status
The Christmas Island Frigatebird Fregata andrewsi is the rarest of the five species of the family Fregatidae and breeds only on Christmas Island. It is listed as Vulnerable (ICBP 1981, Garnett 1992, EPBC Act) (B1, C2b), however Garnett & Crowley (2000) recommended it be considered Critically Endangered (A2c, e, B1, B2bce) due to the inferred impact of the Crazy Ant.
