Geese return to the island of Oahu, Hawaii, after three centuries of absence
Since 1700 they weren't sighted Hawaiian geese (or Néné) on Oahu, one of the islands of the archipelago of the American State, but this reality is changing, according to the u.s. Fish Wildlife Service &.This species of goose, known for its distinctive sound-nay-nay-, is the official bird of Hawaii, but three hundred years ago it was not sighted on the island of Oahu. Now, the population has grown from zero to five. It's a start.The birds have been sighted in the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge, about 65 miles north of Honolulu, Hawaii's capital, and there is no indication that human have been putting them there.According to the American environmental service, a pair of Hawaiian geese must have made a nest and hatched successfully, three children in a national wildlife refuge, near Kahuku, on the North Shore.This species of goose was often seen in the Hawaiian Islands until the end of 1700, however, the number of these geese was severely reduced due to loss of habitat and predatory animals such as cats, rats and pigs.In 1951, it was estimated that there were only 30 geese of this species throughout Hawaii, according to The Atlantic Cities. The Country has made various efforts for the conservation of species and there are currently more than 2,000 geese in the country. Including, now, on Oahu.See some photos of this bird.. fancybox-wrap {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; }. fancybox-skin {position: relative; /* margin-top: 20px! important; */background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; }. fancybox-opened {z-index: 8030;} . fancybox-opened. fancybox-skin {-webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); }. fancybox-outer,. fancybox-inner {position: relative;} . fancybox-inner {overflow: hidden;} . fancybox-type-iframe. fancybox-inner {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;} . fancybox-close {background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width: 25px; height: 25px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 5px; }/*. ng-gallery-image img {width: 565px; height: 393px;}*/Os gansos-do-Havai1of 10jQuery (document). ready (function ($) {var thumbContainerWidth = 0, thumbs = Array (), selectedIndex = 1, thumbIndex = 1, imageOffset = 7; $ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail-box '). each (function () {thumbs.push($(this)); }); /* thumbnail navigation */$ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-next '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex< == (thumbs.length-imageOffset)) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left:-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex]). position (). left}); thumbIndex + +; } }); $ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-prev '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex >1) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left: $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). position (). left + ($ (thumbs [thumbIndex-1]). position (). left-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex-2]). position (). left)}); thumbIndex--; } }); $ (window). load (function () {/* set thumbnail container width */$ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail '). each (function () {thumbContainerWidth = thumbContainerWidth + $ (this). width () + 10; }); $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). width (thumbContainerWidth); }); });Foto: qmnonic/James Brennan Molokai Hawaii/jdnx/derricktakase/USFWS Endangered Species/JAC6.FLICKR/Just chaos
