population decline to 90% to 203 birds a year with very strong statistical evidence with <br /> overall downward trend. Okay... <br /> BL: Brian Ley district 4, 1 just want to put it on the records, the massive decline in 2021, 1 want <br /> to remind everybody July 30, 2021 is when we had the mana fire, and you know...we need <br /> inaudibly. Sheep and address the elephant is the fire is obviously the biggest threat we <br /> had and the mana fire and we had another couple other fires on Mauna Kea that went to <br /> the edge of the Palila critical habitat area...you know, now we get more scientific evident <br /> the biggest threat to these birds is fire. I just want to get it on the record, the sheep is <br /> not the villain, the money needs to be put towards more management of the birds, <br /> instead of continuing the charade of going after the sheep, and of wasting millions of <br /> dollars on fencing, which is just causing environmental havoc on HBP and Hawaiian <br /> Homes lands, and these sheep are not able to get to the hunting areas where they can be <br /> managed. My two cents on this and something once again I think we need to look into <br /> and go after the true culprit and spend our money wisely on saving these animals and <br /> birds. <br /> RD: Chair Robert Duerr District 1, After repeated, the procedure to get an DLNR, <br /> spokesperson, or through DLNR communications.They were reached out twice, and both <br /> times, no answer...Dan Dennison who was the former head, who retired July 1, he did do <br /> a five (5) minute a video interview of Bret Mossman on the mountain talking about the <br /> Palila and the recovery. He sent that to me; I forward it to Barbara. I don't know if that <br /> video is capable of being played. Other then that, zero feedback from DOFAW, Zero! Dan <br /> Dennison went out of his way to say, hey, I'm on the mountain, and I filmed him. <br /> LT: Leomana District 3... So that's how we got that updated video, you reached out... <br /> RD: I reached out <br /> LT: And that was specifically for us. <br /> RD: Right. <br /> LT: Okay, right...Well ka la mai...point of order...We have someone's audio coming through... <br /> if we can just mute all the mics...thank you very much. We can hear all the cars going by... <br /> TWC: Taysen District 2, 1 just wanted to point out key factors, when I pint point out this for the <br /> reading of the minutes, I say this 1982 till present...95% of the Palila resides on the South <br /> Western slope of Mauna Kea right, this also pin points decreased population by 21.8% <br /> from 2021 to 2022,another decrease by 30%from 2022 to 2023 on page 7. Slight increase <br /> by 8.2% between 2023 to 2024 that's the figures of 49 to 53 in a year, that's for birds. <br /> That's not big ...inaudible...Who knows if they not counting the same bird, it also states <br /> over here as well, on the first page of the article I just read, the 89% population decline <br /> 14 <br />
