'''Status:''' Extinct. It was common in the 1890s, but became extinct over the first half of the 20th century. The last record was in the Kamakou Preserve in ~~19632~~

+

'''Status:''' Extinct. '''Global Population:''' 0. It was common in the 1890s, but became extinct over the first half of the 20th century. The last record was in the Kamakou Preserve in 1962

Its extinction was presumably due to habitat destruction and disease.

The last living specimen was seen in 1962 at Ohialele Plateau, one of the most isolated ecological niches in Hawai'i, located above Pelekuna Valley. This plateau is part of Kamakoa Preserve, which is managed by the Nature Conservancy and spreads across 2,744 acres of Moloka'i. It is home to more than 250 kinds of Hawaiian plants and remains a sanctuary for other endangered forest birds amakahi and apapane.

The Hawaiian name for this species, Kaka-wahie, means "to break up firewood," which describes the chipping call of this beautiful bird.
