EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting captures the beauty and fragility of some of the most extinct and endangered Hawaiian species, a poignant reminder of the rich biodiversity that once thrived in the ancient islands of the Pacific. At the center of the composition, the Hawaiian Moa-nalo or Duck-billed Moa, a flightless bird that stood over six feet tall, is depicted with its distinctive bill and graceful posture. Once abundant in the forests of Maui and Moloka'i, this bird became extinct around 1300 AD due to habitat loss and human hunting. To the left, the Hawaiian Goose or Nēnē, the state bird of Hawaii, is shown in its elegant form. Once on the brink of extinction, conservation efforts have helped to stabilize their population, with an estimated 1,300 individuals remaining in the wild. The Hawaiian Hawk or 'Io, a bird of prey, is depicted in the upper right corner of the painting. This magnificent bird, with its distinctive feathered crest and powerful talons, was once the apex predator in the Hawaiian forests. However, habitat loss, hunting, and competition with introduced predators led to its extinction in 1903. In the lower left corner, the Hawaiian Monk Seal or Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua, a marine mammal and the only true seal native to Hawaii, is shown swimming in the clear waters of the Pacific. With a population of around 1,100 individuals, this species faces numerous threats, including habitat loss, human disturbance, and disease. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect and preserve the endangered and extinct species of Hawaii, and the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustains them. The beauty and diversity of these creatures are a testament to the unique natural history of the Hawaiian Islands, and a call to action for all of us to do our part in their preservation.
