Moho braccatus, commonly known as the Hawaiian crow or ‘Alalā, is a bird species native to the Hawaiian Islands. It belongs to the family Corvidae and is known for its glossy black plumage and distinctive call. Once widespread, the species faced significant population declines due to habitat loss, predation, and disease. By the early 2000s, Moho braccatus was declared extinct in the wild, with only a few individuals remaining in captivity. Conservation efforts have since been initiated, including breeding programs aimed at reintroducing the species into its natural habitat, highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity in Hawaii.
