Ensure the long-term survival of Critically Endangered Makira moorhen (Uromys species) in the Solomon Islands by locating an extant population, assessing threats and managing responses in ways that benefit the species, its habitat and the well-being of local people. Investigate the presence of bush rats and other species endemic to Makira Island, and assess the penetration of invasive species into the upper highlands. Develop strong relationships with civil society on Makira to ensure long-term commitments to conservation goals.
