They was a-splishing and a-splashing, reeling with the feeling 🛁 Moving and a-grooving, rocking and a-rolling 🕺 Did you know? The nene, the world’s rarest goose, was once abundant across the Hawaiian Islands. Yet by 1967, due to hunting and introduced predators, the species teetered on the edge of extinction with just 30 birds left in the wild. Thankfully, these birds were protected under the Endangered Species Act — and have recovered to more than 3,000 statewide today. #ESAat50 Video courtesy U.S. Department of the Interior.
