An ‘I‘iwi on Kaua‘i Island

October 2009 (approx.)

Detailed Description

Many Hawaiian honeycreeper populations, including that of the ‘I‘iwi, are experiencing rapid population declines and are predicted to face extinction in coming decades without the implementation of effective conservation measures to combat mosquito-borne disease, invasive predators, and habitat loss.
