Guam Kingfishers, known locally as Sihek, have been Extinct in the Wild for four decades, having been decimated by the invasion of the Brown Tree Snake.

Last year we visited #PalmyraAtoll to judge if it might support release of sihek. Sihek are #ExtinctInTheWild. Since 1988 found only in @zoos_aquariums+GuamDAWR. I recorded our first impressions. @ZSLScience @ZSLconservation @USFWSPacific youtu.be/UJanqCXQR5c?si=JgPK… via @YouTube – at Santa Maria di Sala, Veneto
