Maui parrotbill has dropped over 50% in the last decade to about 150 individuals. Goodbye, Maui parrotbill.
Puaiohi numbers around 500 species and is threatened more by invasive species. Good luck keeping those in check without federal funding. Goodbye, Puaiohi.
Akiapola'au numbers around 1000, and is susceptible to mosquito-borne disease and invasive wildlife. Goodbye, akiapola'au.
King Trump making extinction great again!
