Nene

by EarthHart in Wildlife, in all its forms

The Nene, or Hawaiian Goose Brunta sandvicensis.
Once on the verge of Extinction, back in the early '50s, one man had an idea to capture a few pairs and breed them on his new sanctuary for wildfowl. That man was Peter Scott, and that sanctuary was New Grounds, now known as the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, at Slimbridge. Now the bird is listed as Vunerable in its home range.
