The Hawaiian Crow, also known as ‘Alalā, is a critically endangered bird native to the Hawaiian Islands. It is known for its glossy black feathers and distinctive cawing call. Once widespread, the population has drastically declined due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and diseases. Efforts to conserve the Hawaiian Crow include breeding programs and habitat restoration. The ‘Alalā was declared extinct in the wild in 2002, but conservationists have been working to reintroduce captive-bred individuals into their natural habitat. Protecting this unique species is vital for preserving Hawaii's rich biodiversity.
