Description
Paradise Under Pressure: Tracking Populations of Hawai'i's Rarest Forest Birds
Hawaiʻi has suffered the extinctions of more than 70% of its native forest birds since the islands were colonized by people. Introduced avian diseases and their vectors have pushed remaining birds into upland forests on Mauna Loa and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, where surveys to estimate population densities and trends have been conducted since the 1970s. Join avian ecologist Seth Judge, of the NPS Pacific Island Inventory and Monitoring Network, as he describes the trends of native forest birds and how a warming climate has contributed to their decline.
Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park's ongoing After Dark in the Park series of programs. Program co-sponsored by Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Concert is free but park entrance fees apply.
When: Tuesday, March 12, at 7 p.m.
Where: Kīlauea Visitor Center auditorium
