This canvas giclee is a colorful print of two nene in Hawaii Volcanos National Park. The nene, also known as the Hawaiian goose, is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The official bird of the state of Hawaii, the nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii. The nene is the world's rarest goose. It is believed that it once was common, with approximately 25,000 Hawaiian geese living in Hawaii when Captain James Cook arrived in 1778. However, hunting and introduced predators, such as mongooses, pigs, and cats, reduced the population to 30 birds by 1952. Nevertheless, this species breeds well in captivity, and has been successfully re-introduced; in 2004, it was estimated that there were 800 birds in the wild, as well as 1000 in wildfowl collections and zoos. Image measures 16" x 20" and is signed by the photographer.
