Mice Problem on Midway Atoll

A remote atoll within the Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument is home to an extraordinary collection of seabirds -- more than 3 million converging on a tiny space: some 1500 acres. It is the only nesting ground for two seabird species that face an imminent threat from an unlikely source: invasive house mice that attack and kill nesting Black-footed albatross and Laysan albatross.

UH Law School for Jurist in Residence Program

Justice Joseph Williams of the New Zealand Court of Appeal is of Maori descent, and he has watched, down through the years, as his native culture has gained recognition in government and judicial circles. He is the first person of Maori descent, and the first who speaks his native tongue, appointed to one of his nation’s highest courts. 

Intro Music: Poi E by Patea Maori Club
