Kaua'i Forest Bird Recovery Project

OUR MISSION The Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project aims to promote knowledge, appreciation, and conservation of Kaua‘i’s native forest birds. We focus on one threatened ('i’iwi) and three federally endangered species (puaiohi, ‘akikiki, and ‘akeke’e) , with the goal of facilitating recovery of their populations in the wild.

Share Aloha With Our Manu.

We'd like to end Makahiki o Nā Manu Nahele (Year of the Forest Birds) by asking classrooms and conservation partners across Hawaiʻi to create and send us >1 min video clips of them showing aloha to our forest birds. Once we receive the video clips, we'll make a statewide compilation video. We'll share this video on Instagram, Facebook, and websites in December. Our hope is that our manu and our fellow humans will benefit from the aloha you share in creating your videos.
