Endangered songbirds to be released on Kaua’i
Kaua'i, HI - As part of an ongoing program to revive an endangered Kaua'i songbird, wildlife officials are gearing up to release 18 puaiohi over several weeks into the Alaka'i Wilderness Preserve.
"We have been able to release 95 captive-reared puaiohi back into the wilderness since 1999, and we believe these recruits are making a significant contribution to the recovery of the population," said Alan Lieberman, director of the San Diego Zoo's propagation efforts in Hawai'i.
