KUAM was at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas in July 2023, reporting on the Sihek Recovery project.
Our team is on their way there this week as a national effort to release the Guam sihek into the wild on Palmyra Atoll. The last wild sighting of the Guam sihek was in 1988 and just 141 birds are left in the world, all under human care.
KUAM will join the journey to Palmyra from Kansas next week, where we’ll also meet Erica Royer with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, who helped establish quarantine protocols.
