another reason to visit Hawaii
"Hawaii’s State Bird, the Nene Goose is one of the rarest geese in the world.
In fact, about 50 years ago, they nearly became extinct.
Thanks to conservation efforts the Nene population has grown to approximately 2000 individuals and these birds have been particularly successful on Kauai.
Since Nene Geese are endemic to Hawaii, you will not encounter them anywhere else in the world in their native environment, so take advantage of the opportunity while you are visiting."
