Recovery Plan for the Ma'oma'o or Mao (Gymnomyza samoensis)

The objectives of this document include managing a number of key forest areas where the bird is still found, eliminating hunting as a threat to the birds, establishing new populations of the birds, improving our understanding of the bird through ecological research, investigating captive breeding as a conservation tactic, increasing public awareness and education about the need for bird conservation, promoting the partnerships that are necessary to implement the plan and establishing a special bird recovery group to monitor and guide plan implementation.
