Teacher
This happened over time through a process called adaptive radition.
Watch
PC: Bret Mossman
As you can see we filled a niche.
PC: Bret Mossman
We adapted to our ecosystem.
PC: Bret Mossman
Which means we are only found here in Hawaiʻi.
PC: Bret Mossman
Making us endemic to Hawaiʻi.
PC: Bret Mossman
We lived here alone in the islands for a long time.
PC: Bret Mossman
Then people came, changing our lives forever.
PC: Bret Mossman
Let me call him, 'Ākiapōlāʻau...
Hey! whats up!
PC: Bret Mossman

Cultural Significane
In ancient Hawaiʻi the feathers of the Honeycreepers were a prized possession. Reserved only for Aliʻi.
But others came as well... look what happened.
PC: Bret Mossman
Mamo was not the only one lost...
PC: Bret Mossman
Still we lost more ʻohana.
PC: Bret Mossman
Other things came with people that still affect us today.
PC: Bret Mossman
Today we have a lot of challenges.
PC: Bret Mossman
Palila!Can tell us more.
PC: Bret Mossman
Lets call herPalila...
Well hello there 'Akiapola'au, nice to see you.
PC: Bret Mossman
Can you tell us of the others who came?
Yes, I can show them how the ailiens came.
PC: Bret Mossman

As you can see a lot of things were released in our home. But why?
PC: Bret Mossman
Hmmm seems like people released things to solve a problem?
PC: Bret Mossman
Did you know these are some reasons for the alien invasion.
PC: Bret Mossman
But, we can make a difference as Tūtū Pukui would say...

Climate Change
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
Climate change is the greatest environmental threat facing humanity and nature.
Climate Change
What does the future hold?
Once, there were more than 50 species of honeycreepers spread across Hawai‘i – today, only 17 species remain, with a few species having less than 200 individuals remaining. Rapid population declines have now pushed the ‘akikiki, ‘akeke‘e, kiwikiu and ‘ākohekohe to the brink of extinction.
How can you help?
PC: Bret Mossman
Keep your cats in door or put them on a leash when letting them out.
PC: Bret Mossman
Plant native trees to increase our habitat.
PC: Bret Mossman
Empty standing water so mosqutios can not lay eggs.
PC: Bret Mossman
Teach another person about conservation.
PC: Bret Mossman
Together we can make a difference!
