Ko'ko's & Kings: the return of Guam's birds - documentary
Channel: Steven LeFever
Date: 2020-07-16

2020 Guam International Film Festival BEST MADE IN THE MARIANAS NOMINEE//
A look at the Guam Department of Agriculture's efforts of bringing the endemic Guam Rail and Guam Kingfisher out of captivity and back into the wild after their decimation from the island's introduced predators.

This documentary aims at giving the people of Guam some optimism that we can make a change as some dedicated people have never given up in preserving our nature.  We lose our birds/wildlife, we lose our culture.  They are as important as our language.  Culture always changes but lets not change it for the worse.  Keep Guam strong!
