Reduce the number of myna birds (Acridotheres tristis) on Atiu Island (Cook Islands) to provide a better chance for Kuhl’s lorikeet (Vini kuhlii) to establish a more robust population and enhance their breeding capability. Myna birds on the ;island are posing a threat to the survival of the lorikeet, a priority species for CEPF investment in the Polynesia-Micronesia Hotspot.

Strategic Direction: 1 Prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas
