CHALLENGES FOR HAWAIIAN BIRDS

Alex X Wang; Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife; alex.x.wang@hawaii.gov;

Hawaiʻi is well known as the extinction capital of the world. Isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean led to great endemism on this archipelago for Hawaiian birds. Unfortunately 95 of 142 endemic Hawaiian birds are now extinct. This poster will cover challenges to the most imperiled remainder, and give an overview of both threats and recovery actions being implemented for each of these avian species. Species covered will include the ʻAkikiki, ʻAkekeʻe, Puaiohi, Oʻahu ʻElepaio, ʻĀkohekohe, Kiwikiu, ʻĀkiapōlō'au, Alawī, Hawaiʻi ʻĀkepa, ʻIo, ʻAlalā, Palila and ʻIʻiwi.
