- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 awarded $5.55 million under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation (CFDA 15.657) federal grant program to the State of Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources. The funding will support major expansion of the Maui Bird Conservation Center managed by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in partnership with state and federal wildlife agencies. The award will fund planning, design, permitting, land clearing, and...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657), provides $5,258,783 in funding to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to extend field validation of the Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) method for mosquito suppression on Maui, and begin field validation of the technique on Kauai. The award supports a subcontract with Verily Life Sciences to ramp up production and...
- This $1,030,319 Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program will support the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources in implementing critical conservation efforts for the endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, the Anianiau. The key objectives are to: Immediately establish a captive breeding program to prevent the Anianiau's extinction, as recent survey data shows a 61% population decline to an estimated 2,500 birds...
- The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657). The grant funding will be used to protect and restore native forests, biodiversity, and endangered species in Hawaii by controlling invasive species, predators, and pests that threaten native flora and fauna. Key activities include deploying threat...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant on October 1, 2023 to the State Of Hawaii Department Of Land & Natural Resources under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation federal grant program (CFDA 15.657). The grant will fund a 5-year project to protect over 17,000 acres of high-value watershed forests in East Maui, Hawaii. Key activities include removing invasive plant and animal species to directly benefit the...
- This Project Grant award of $651,084, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to determine how microbes influence the response of their mosquito host to climate change, with a focus on the impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers, an endangered bird species. The research aims to: Clarify the landscape-scale population dynamics of the mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus and its microbiome across an elevational gradient in Hawaii....
- The U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $405,022 Project Grant to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) under the Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program (CFDA 15.634). The grant, with an award date of October 1, 2023 and a completion date of December 31, 2025, supports conservation efforts for the federally endangered endemic bird species Akikiki and Akeke'e on the island of Kauai. The key objectives are to: 1)...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $569,494 Project Grant under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.615) to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). The funding supports the Hawaii Invertebrate Program (HIP) and Snail Extinction Prevention Program (SEPP), which focus on research, conservation, and management of rare, threatened, and endangered native invertebrates across Hawaii. Key activities...
The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources will receive $1.67 million under a Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1, to support the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation federal grant program (CFDA 15.657). The funding will enable efforts to advance the use of Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) to suppress mosquito populations and reduce the risk of avian malaria transmission endangering four endemic Hawaiian honeycreeper species on the islands of Kauai and Maui. Key activities include assisting with regulatory approval processes for IIT implementation, conducting studies on mosquito dispersal and distribution to guide IIT use, and monitoring mosquito and disease presence on Hawaii Island to inform potential future conservation translocations. The project aims to enable the preferred strategy of experts to house endangered honeycreepers in captivity until IIT can be deployed at a scale sufficient to protect birds in the wild, while maintaining translocation as a secondary option.
