Te Manu iti January 2022

Description:
The 'Ōmāma'o or Tahiti Monarch is one of the most threatened birds of the planet. At the start of the conservation program, in 1998, only 12 adults were known in the entire world. Present only in Tahiti, this bird has to face ten invasive species, all ranked among the 100 most invasive species on the planet, which includes Black rat, Indian Myna, Red-Vented Bulbul, etc. Later, the Little Fire Ant (LFA) was found on a surface of 70 ha near the entrance of the Tahiti Monarch habitat, located in three valleys (Hopa, Maruapo and Papehue).
