Summary:
A
new study in The Condor: Ornithological Applications presents some of
the best guidance to date on the priorities and actions that can be taken to
help Hawaii's endemic birds. Hawaii's ecosystems, including its native bird
populations, are struggling. Of the 21 species of forest birds left on the
islands, almost two thirds (12 species) of are endangered or threatened. The
current conservation status of the wildlife and vegetation on the island is
almost entirely attributable to humans. The actions needed to stabilize or
reverse these trends need stronger support and coordination, however funding
and resources are limited. This new paper lays out a plan to better guide and empower
conservation efforts for Hawaiian birds.
