Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Revised Recovery Plan for 

the 1Alala (Corvus hawaiiensis) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability: 

revised recovery plan. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, announce the 

availability of the Revised Recovery 

Plan for the Hawaiian crow or 1Alala 

(Corvus hawaiiensis). This species, 

found only on the island of Hawai1i, was 

Federally listed as endangered in 1967. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the recovery plan 

are available by request from the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific 

Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, 300 

Ala Moana Boulevard, Room 3–122, Box 

50088, Honolulu, HI 96850 (phone: 

(808) 792–9400). An electronic copy of 

the recovery plan is also available at 

http://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/ 

index.html#plans. Printed copies of the 

recovery plan will be available for 

distribution 4 to 6 weeks after the 

publication date of this notice.

Burgett, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at

Wildlife Office address and phone. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Recovery of endangered or threatened 

animals and plants is a primary goal of 

the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our endangered 

species program. Recovery means 

improvement of the status of listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer required under the criteria in 

section 4(a)(1) of the Act. 

The Act requires the development of 

recovery plans for endangered or 

threatened species unless such a plan 

would not promote the conservation of 

the species. Recovery plans help guide 

the recovery effort by describing actions 

considered necessary for the 

conservation of the species, and 

estimating time and cost for 

implementing the measures needed for 

recovery. We originally completed a 

recovery plan for the 1Alala in 1982, but 

the recommendations contained in that 

plan are outdated given the species’ 

current status. 

Section 4(f) of the Act requires that 

we provide public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. In fulfillment of this 

requirement, we made the draft revised 

recovery plan for the 1Alala (Corvus 

hawaiiensis) available for public 

comment from December 18, 2003 

through February 20, 2004 (December 

18, 2003, 68 FR 70527; December 22, 

2003, 68 FR 71128). As we prepared this 

final revised recovery plan, we 

considered information provided during 

the public comment period. We also 

summarized this information in an 

appendix to the plan. 

The 1Alala or Hawaiian crow has been 

federally listed as endangered since 

1967 (35 FR 16047) and is also listed as 

endangered by the State of Hawai1i. The 

1Alala is endemic to the island of 

Hawai1i. 1Alala were last observed in the 

wild in 2002, and we now believe the 

species to be extirpated from the wild. 

In January 2008, there were 56 1Alala, 

representing the entire known 

population of the species, in captivity at 

the Keauhou and Maui Bird 

Conservation Centers, on Hawai1i and 

Maui islands, respectively. 

Historically, the 1Alala was restricted 

to the dry and mesic forests in the 

western and southern portions of the 

island of Hawai1i. The species is 

associated with 1ohi1a-koa (Metrosideros 

polymorpha) and 1ohi1a-koa-koa (Acacia 

koa) forests with an understory of native 

fruit-bearing trees and shrubs. Current 

threats include predation by nonnative 

mammals and the endangered 1Io or 

Hawaiian hawk (Buteo solitarius), 

introduced diseases, and habitat loss 

and fragmentation. Inbreeding 

depression may be reducing the 

reproductive success of the captive 

population, and loss of wild behaviors 

in captivity might reduce survivorship 

of captive-raised birds released into the 

wild. Recovery actions in this revised 

plan are designed to address threats to 

the 1Alala to achieve the recovery 

objectives of downlisting to threatened 

status and then eventually delisting 

(removing from the list of endangered 

and threatened species). 

Because the 1Alala exists only as a 

small population in captivity, the 

revised recovery plan emphasizes 

recovery actions for the next 5 years as 

well as presenting an overall strategy for 

long-term recovery. Given that recovery 

will be based on releases of captive-bred 

1Alala to the wild, and much of the data 

necessary to determine the population 

size and parameters needed for recovery 

of the species do not exist at this time, 

it is only possible to establish general 

recovery criteria. We will consider the 

1Alala to be recovered when the genetic 

diversity that was present in the 1Alala
