`Io (Hawaiian Hawk) No Longer Endangered
While scientists reach out to protect endangered and threatened species there’s a Hawaii success story. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are moving ahead to delist the `io, Hawaiian hawk (Buteo solitarius), from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act. Gregory Koob from the Fish and Wildlife Service tells us about the process of delisting a threatened or endangered species.
