Endangered Hawaiian Petrels Relocated (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
An historic project, more than 30 years in the making, took place on Kauaʻi's north shore on Monday. Ten endangered Hawaiian Petrel chicks were flown, by helicopter, from their nesting area to a potentially new colony. The potential new colony, located at Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, is protected by a predator-proof fence.
