Did you know #mongoose are more closely related to hyenas than they are minks?! @HiBiologist and her team at #USDA are making headway on their #toxicant trials to help eliminate these pest in Hawaiʻi.

Warning: From Jan 10 - Mar 1, 2022 the park will be implementing its Rat Management Plan project in partnership with the USDA, Animal & Plant Health Inspection Services, Wildlife Service. The toxicant in use poses significant health risks to pets if consumed.

After 7 months of watching an ʻAkeʻake, Band-rumped Storm Petrel, burrow I have been rewarded with a chick getting ready for a life at sea.

@CnsrvHI talk at #HiConCon2020 ~29% of nesting habitat for #endangered waterbirds here in Hawaii will be lost due to sea level rise, but(!), restoration of lo‘i (indigenous flooded field ag) can more than compensate (+172%) for these losses! – at Honolulu, HI

A rare and critically endangered albatross pair returned to Midway Atoll #NWR last week! Biologists are hopeful that the pair will fledge a chick this year. They are the only short-tail albatross pair to nest outside of islands near Japan!

What does #AlohaʻĀina really mean? Dr. Noelani Puniwai described it with this anecdote in #NREMSeminar: “there are not love songs about people in Hawaiian, there are love songs about places.” #decolonizingconservation

100 years from now when the people of Hawai‘i are asked how we saved so much against such odds, we will say it began with aloha ‘āina.

2/4 There are similar #physiological fluctuations throughout the season, but East coast birds are using more energy. By the end of the season they can’t maintain their #stress repsonse as they're in poor body condition, but they still don’t abandon their chicks! #PopSesh2 #WSTC5

4/4 #WSTC5 #PopSesh1 | There has been an apparent 70% decline in Leach’s Storm-petrels on Elliðaey in 27 years. The causes are currently unclear. We plan to refine the survey methods further & #census additional populations in the Westman Islands in 2019. #Ornithology @CUStormies
