Hawaiian honeycreepers are in crisis. Their songs are being silenced by invasive predators and mosquitoes spreading deadly avian malaria. Only 17 species of these culturally treasured birds remain—with several facing extinction in the next few years. To increase public awareness of the honeycreepers’ plight, American Bird Conservancy has released “Vanishing Voices,” a short film depicting the importance of these vibrant birds to the forest ecosystem and to the local Hawaiian communities rallying to save them. AWI is working with American Bird Conservancy and Birds, Not Mosquitoes to advocate mosquito birth control—as highlighted in the film—to stop avian malaria before it is too late.
