Summary:

The Palila Restoration Project was initiated in 1995 to develop strategies and techniques for reintroducing and increasing palila (Loxioides bailleui) populations and for managing their subalpine mamane (Sophora chrysophylla) and naio (Myoporum sandwicense) forest habitat. Comprehensive recovery requires management and research throughout the historic range of the species, including Hualalai and Mauna Loa volcanoes, whereas the Palila Restoration Project is limited to portions of Mauna Kea volcano and adjacent areas in Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA). The report presents results of work conducted from December 1996 through September 2001 in these aspects: restoration ecology, breeding ecology, predator ecology, demography, food ecology, and vegetation ecology.
