Cars Kill Protected Birds in Haleakala | Honolulu News

Haleakala National Park is sounding the alarm after two endangered native birds—a nēnē and an ʻuaʻu—were killed by cars this past Sunday, July 12th. These federally protected species are critically vulnerable, with 11 nēnē and 13 ʻuaʻu already lost to vehicle strikes in just four years. Park officials warn that both tourists and locals are to blame, urging everyone to slow down and stay alert on park roads. With no other place to go, these birds rely on our caution—every careful mile driven could mean life or death for these rare creatures.
