This grant supports critical conservation in the Ka`ū Forest Reserve, focusing on the removal of invasive ungulates (feral cattle, pigs, and sheep) from a 2000-acre fenced management unit. This effort is part of a comprehensive 15-year plan to protect and restore 12,000 acres through fencing, ungulate eradication, and weed control. These actions are vital for the reintroduction of the endangered `Alalā and benefit other threatened resources, including three endangered forest birds, the Hawaiian hoary bat, an endangered invertebrate, and 18 rare plants. Ultimately, this project protects the ecosystem from ungulate damage and secures habitat for species recovery, benefiting the public.

| Description: | This agreement is being implemented to undertake critically needed conservation actions in Ka`ū Forest Reserve including removal of invasive ungulates (feral cattle, pigs and sheep) from inside a 2000-acre fenced management unit in the FR. This project is part of a 15 year management plan for the Ka’u FR which includes protection of 12,000 acres through fencing of conservation units, ungulate removal, weed control, and other management to protect and restore watershed, native forest ecosystems and unique native species. Implementation of these essential management actions are required for the reintroduction of the endangered `Alalā as well as for the benefit of other trust resources: three endangered forest birds, the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, one endangered invertebrate, and 18 rare plants (nine endangered, three candidate, six PEP). This project will benefit the public by protecting the ecosystem from damage by introduced ungulates and provide secure habitat for recovery of listed plant and animal species. |
