Arthropods
With more than 20 listed endangered and threatened arthropods in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, PIFWO, with its partners, works to conserve endangered and threatened arthropods and their habitats and ecosystems to help prevent further species extinction. Hawaii’s picture-wing flies are a great example of evolution.

Oahu Tree Snails
Did you know that Oahu tree snails, or Kahuli, are hermaphrodites? Did you also know that they can live up to ten years? However, low reproductive rate and other factors like predation and habitat loss have led Kahuli to become endangered or extinct.
