The Hawaiian Goose (Nene) Restoration Program
Smith JD. 1952. The Hawaiian Goose (Nene) Restoration Program. The Journal of Wildlife Management. 16(1):1-9
The near extinction of the Nene was first brought to the attention of wildlife managers and others interested in ornithology by Baldwin (1945) in his article dealing specifically with the reduction of the Nene's range in Hawaii. As a result of Baldwin's investigations, the Nene population in 1944 was placed at less than 50 geese existing in a range reduced from 2,925 square miles on Maui and Hawaii to 1,150 square miles on only the island of Hawaii.
