Conserve the last viable populations of two Critically Endangered bird species, the Tahiti monarch (Pomarea nigra) and the Fatu Hiva monarch (Pomarea whitney), reducing the threat from invasive mammals and rehabilitating their habitat. In the medium term, islands that are predator free will be identified and the feasibility of establishing alternative populations of both species will be assessed.
