Come learn about ʻakēʻakē (Hydrobates castro cryptoleucura), a small, cryptic seabird species that is native to Hawai‘i and inhabits remote areas. Also known as the band-rumped Storm-petrel, the ʻakēʻakē is federally listed as an endangered population, thought to consist of only 250 pairs.

Join us on July 10th @ 5pm as biologist Alex Wang presents on finding ʻakēʻakē burrows on Mauna Loa using nightvision goggles and detection dogs. These findings help conservationists implement measures to protect ʻakēʻakē from introduced predators like cats, rats, and mongoose.
