What is assisted migration?
THE GUAM KINGFISHER - ALSO KNOWN as the sihek - has been extinct in the wild since 1988 but was successfully introduced to Palmyra Atoll last year. However, they aren’t native to the island (which is roughly one-third of the way between Hawaii and American Samoa). With the invasive brown tree snake responsible for their decline still at large on Guam, the most feasible way to restore them to the wild was by moving them to an entirely new home. Though the project is young, it’s a high-profile example of a controversial conservation technique known as assisted migration.
