Great Christmas Gift Idea
Give the Gift of  a Nene

By adopting a Nene, the state bird of Hawaii, you'll be helping us to protect the Nene and important habitats in the Park from destruction by feral goats and pigs, from invasion by alien plants, and from predation by mongooses, feral cats, and rats.

Nene Facts
