Endangered Species Act: Potential Downlisting for Hawaiian Goose (nene)
10,000 Birds
MAY 8, 2018
In the case of the Hawaiian Goose ( Branta sandvicensis ), the public notice was published in the Federal Register on April 2, 2018. In particular, a captive-breeding program (1960-2011) likely saved the species from imminent extinction (2,800 were released) and expanded the range of the species to islands where they had been extirpated.
