Good news for the nene, or Hawaiian goose: It is no longer on the brink of extinction.
In a ceremony at Honouliuli National Historic Site on Oahu on Sunday, state officials and U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced that the official state bird of Hawaii is now considered a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act—an improvement from its endangered designation.
“You have a tremendously inspiring story,” Bernhardt told state officials at the ceremony. “This is a story about what the Endangered Species Act is supposed to be about, and the great thing here is we’re moving this bird—really, in my opinion—from the emergency ward or the intensive care unit. It’s still in the hospital. It still needs [us] to be protective of it and thoughtful of it.”
