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.
3 Build awareness and participation of local leaders and community members in the implementation of protection and recovery plans for threatened species
