This Project Grant award, totaling $998,430.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.634 State Wildlife Grants Program) to the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and its partners. The project aims to address an emerging wildlife crisis in Kauai's Alakai Plateau by combating invasive predators, such as rats and feral cats, that threaten the endangered Puaiohi and other species of greatest conservation need. Key activities include expanding rat control using A24 traps and bait boxes, developing targeted, species-safe cat control techniques, and assessing the effects of rat suppression on habitat regeneration and food availability. The project also involves creating a predictive habitat model to guide long-term conservation strategies and resilience planning in response to climate change. Expected outcomes include measurable reductions in predator impacts, increased survival rates for target species, enhanced native plant regeneration, and a data-driven model to inform future habitat management. This award represents a critical intervention to prevent further biodiversity loss and ensure the persistence of Kauai's unique forest ecosystems.
