9 **Welcome to the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project at mauiforestbirds.org** *The Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project is driven by science and dedicated to the conservation of Hawaii’s native forest ecosystems.* **Formed in 1997, our mission is to develop and implement techniques that recover Maui’s endangered birds and to restore their habitats through research, development, and application of conservation techniques.** •*We employ conventional mist-netting, banding and survey techniques to monitor wild forest bird populations.* •*We study breeding success in the wild, monitor bird food resources and prevalence of avian diseases.* •*We develop and apply novel recovery initiatives for species of concern.* •*We aim to effectively manage and reduce the impact of non-native invasive species.* •*We conduct research to investigate the effectiveness of our control methods, and formulate this knowledge into long-term management strategies.* In addition to research, we are actively trying to educate the public on endemic forest birds and their conservation on Maui.
