New population of at-risk seabirds brings hope
- "The two seabird species unique to Hawaii, Newell's shearwaters and Hawaiian petrels, are the focus of major conservation efforts -- at risk from habitat degradation, invasive predators, and other threats, their populations plummeted 94 percent and 78 percent respectively between 1993 and 2013. However, a new study offers hope of previously undetected colonies of these birds on the island of Oahu, from which they were believed to have vanished by the late 1700s" - Excerpt from American Ornithological Society Publications Office via ScienceDaily
