Dr Janet Kear, Assistant Director of the Wildfowl Trust and Curator of its Martin Mere Reserve, and Professor Andrew Berger of the University of Hawaii, have written a timely and absorbing account of the recent history of the Hawaiian Goose, or Nene, its descent to near extinction, its eleventh hour rescue and current restoration to the wild. The species declined from an estimated population of 25,000 in Hawaii in the 18th century to less than fifty birds in the 1940s. Today, thanks largely to the extended breeding programmes at Slimbridge and Pohakuloa, there are probably more than 2000 Hawaiian Geese in the world. The achievement is justly applauded and well-known, but whether this impressive experiment in conservation has been truly successful will not be clear until it becomes evident that the released birds can maintain a breeding population in the wild. As the authors explain, the outcome is far from predictable. The causes which led to the species' decline and the hazards and difficulties faced by the reintroduced population are discussed at length, but the core of the book is the propagation programmes at Slimbridge and Pohakuloa, and the problems and successes they brought during many years of patient work. For the conservationist and aviculturalist the accounts of captive breeding under headings such as infertility, diet, longevity, mortality and the effects of foster mothers, geographical latitude and genetic strain, will be essential reading. Appropriately, Sir Peter Scott, whose imterest and involvement in the rescue of the Hawaiian Goose was of prime importance, is one of the artists whose drawings supplement the text. There is also a colour frontispiece and 24 monochrome plates. !--EndFragment--

This book entertains and educates readers about the Hawaiian goose, an endangered species, and about the fragile ecology of Hawaii. In a fictionalized account of a year in the life of a Nene family, the author evokes a vivid picture of the environment, life cycle, and natural history of Hawaii's state bird. Colorful illustrations enhance the words. The scientifically accurate information enables children to understand how this bird has been brought back from the brink of extinction and reestablished in the wild.

Low reproductive success has been typical of high elevation populations of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) or nene. Researchers identified predation and inadequate nutrition as limiting factors. Reproductive success remained low in most years despite on-going predator control programs. I used a supplemental feeding program over two breeding seasons in 2001-2003 at Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawai?i to determine if increased nutritional resources would influence reproductive success. I used field observations of marked nene to track activity at feeding stations and to monitor nests and broods. To evaluate reproductive success I compared nest success and recruitment between breeding pairs that used supplemental food and those that did not. Reproductive success was higher for breeding pairs that used supplemental food during a year of severe weather (heavy rainfall and greater percentage of low temperature days) but did not differ between groups during the year of mild weather. I concluded that for this high elevation population, reproductive success was limited by nutrition and weather, and that weather in particular strongly influenced the importance of nutrition. Habitat management to provide nutritious forage is recommended to improve and sustain the reproductive performance of this population.
