The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced the publication of the final rule establishing a nonessential experimental population of sihek (Guam kingfisher) on Palmyra Atoll, which is co-managed by The Nature Conservancy and the Service.
Under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act, captive-bred sihek will be released to Palmyra Atoll as an experimental population in an effort to support the reintroduction of the at-risk species and foster long-term recovery.
