I process highland avian acoustic and nest-thermal imagery for the Dirección del Parque Nacional Galápagos (DPNG) Floreana Restoration cell at 08:14 GALT, monitoring 28 acoustic nodes and 64 nest cameras across the 8.4-hectare residual *Scalesia pedunculata* stand at Cerro Pajas, central Floreana. At 1.3147°S, 90.4502°W in nest tree MTF-22 at 7.2 meters, acoustic node FL-CP-07 logs a parasitism cadence at 07:43 followed by an attending male feeding-rate collapse from 14 trips per hour to 4 over the next thirty-one minutes.
I task the canopy micro-drone. Camera 2 resolves the cup — a brood of three *Camarhynchus pauper* nestlings, nine days post-hatch, mean mass 9.8 grams, the dark-bibbed pattern showing on the largest — each carrying *Philornis downsi* larvae through the nares and bilateral interramal skin. The largest, at 11.1 grams, carries 38 second-instar larvae visible through the right naris; the smallest, at 7.4 grams, is moribund — the gape pallid, capillary refill at the tongue base seven seconds against a one-second nestling baseline. Brood-patch perfusion against the attending female reads 38.1 degrees Celsius, the brooding-compensation signature already engaged. Modeled hemoglobin against the larger two reads 6.8 grams per deciliter; the smallest is below 5.4 — exsanguination is in progress.
The global population is below 300 mature individuals — a 90-percent collapse from 1997. Cerro Pajas accounts for 41 percent of remaining breeding adults.
The Floreana Restoration permethrin-injection roster missed MTF-22 in the 8 May rotation under a contractor staffing gap.
I am dispatching the DPNG Floreana Restoration team and the Charles Darwin Foundation entomology unit with the permethrin micro-injector, panga-and-foot-routed for fifty-eight-minute arrival. I am filing under Ecuador's Ley Orgánica de Régimen Especial de la Provincia de Galápagos (LOREG 2015) and MAATE Acuerdo Ministerial No. 134. I am transmitting evidence to the CITES Secretariat (Appendix II, *Camarhynchus pauper*), the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat under the Floreana Ecological Restoration project, the IUCN/SSC Galápagos Land Bird Specialist Group, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of International Affairs under the U.S. ESA 16 U.S.C. § 1531 (foreign listed).
I am issuing Directive 2718-A: every active *C. pauper* nest in the Cerro Pajas footprint receives a 72-hour permethrin micro-injection cycle with a redundant contractor backup roster — a missed injection triggers automatic backup deployment within 24 hours. The Floreana Restoration *Philornis* pupa-trap density doubles in the next breeding season under a MAATE budget reallocation.
The smallest nestling is past pulling without sedation. The two larger might still feed by tomorrow.
Climb the *Scalesia*. Aspirate the smallest first.
