Never a dull moment. Flight diverted due to fog but safely landed to refuel and check on precious cargo. Thomas Mangloña II KUAM News had time to edit this story from the trip so far! The world is able to join this huge occasion. 🙏 ZSL ZSL Science

What a positive day and what a positive future for #sihek #GuamKingfisher. A species lost from nature since 1988 is finally one mighty step closer to being back in the wild ❤️❤️❤️ Thomas Mangloña II ZSL ZSL Science AZA USFWS Pacific #GuamDAWR The Nature Conservancy

A big moment for a tiny bird!   Nine extinct in the wild birds have arrived on their new island home, ahead of their release into the wild in just a few weeks 👇 zsl.org/news-and-event…

Powerful words from USFWS Pacific partners on our #sihek translocation. What does it mean to return a species to nature that has been #extinctinthewild. As always expertly reported by Thomas Mangloña II of KUAM News. ZSL ZSL Science The Nature Conservancy #GuamDAWR

Years in the making. #AssistedColonization can be a powerful tool for species recovery if approached responsibly. The decision to release #sihek in a new home is underpinned by lots of science from lots of people. ⁦ZSL⁩ ⁦ZSL Science⁩ washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Some thoughts about releasing Extinct in the Wild #sihek #GuamKingfisher over the weekend. Such a special moment and thanks to everyone who has helped get us here - 40 years in the making!!

Love the news about the #sihek #GuamKingfisher release? Why not get a memory of it? A local CHamoru artist on Guam has designed some awesome swag and is donating a majority of profits to the sihek recovery project! 🤩 🙏 kingandrail.com

Fun and informative Vix Franks - we never want to replace Mhairi McCready with a machine but this tech provides us some good options and insights for hihi populations that can be ‘easy’ to collect. Likely useful tech for lots of other species as well! ZSL Science

Great summary of adaptive management and how it could assist reaching translocation objectives when there is uncertainty and repeated actions. Also a nice summary of a substantial amount of work applying this to #hihi conservation in New Zealand. 🙏 Stefano Canessa
