Summary:

This work plan was prepared by Akiapolaau Working Group and Hawaiian Forest Bird Recovery Team. The Akiapolaau is a specialized insectivorous Hawaiian honeycreeper that uses its unusual dimorphic bill to extract insect larvae and spiders from crevices or insect borings. The purpose of this five-year work plan is to identify interim recovery objectives for Akiapolaau, and to succinctly describe the actions needed to reach those interim objectives. In order to realize these objectives, the following actions are needed: Protect existing habitat, continue research to document distribution, threats, and habitat needs, restore new habitat, and develop a Captive Propagation and Reintroduction Program.
