Kiwikiu
Kiwikiu (Maui Parrotbill; Pseudonestor xanthophrys) are the most critically endangered of the Hawaiian Honeycreepers on Maui. Their population may only number a few hundred.
Species Recovery
Hawai’i has suffered wider-spread extinctions than anywhere else on the planet. Without effective intervention, Kiwikiu could join this long list of birds that are now gone forever.
Forest Restoration
Much of Maui was once covered by native forests that are now gone. Rebuilding these areas will not only provide habitat for native Hawaiian species but will also restore these watersheds.

Some Key Highlights
‘Akohekohe
Palmeria dolei, critically endangered and found only on the Island of Maui, ‘Akohekohe use their striking white crest to help pollinate native plants.
Disease Control
Battling the introduced mosquitoes and the diseases that they carry is of upmost importance as native birds have little to no disease resistance.
Estimating Numbers
Monitoring populations of rare and cryptic species can be difficult and labor intensive. However, surveys are imperative to be able to detect declines and act in time.
Po’ouli
Extinction is not something of ancient history conjuring up dinosaurs and Dodos. In Hawai’i some recovery actions have come up too little and too late.
