A new episode of the Pacific Heartbeat series, titled “Hawaiʻi’s Precious Resources,” highlights the endangered Hawaiian land snails (kāhuli), exploring conservation efforts and the emotional toll of working to prevent their extinction.
Thousands of rare, threatened and endangered Hawaiian snails were moved from their home at a trailer in Kailua to a new, lab facility in Pearl City Thursday morning, in a transfer that caretakers have dubbed, “The Great Snail Bail.”
Conservation stamp winner, Alvin Galvez featured an endangered land snail found only on Oʻahu in his design. Game Bird stamp winner, Lauren Trangmar featured the chestnut-bellied sandgrouse, a popular game bird native to Africa and Asia and brought to Hawaiʻi in the 1960s in her design.
