Hawaii is where you used to be able to find a bird known as the 'Akikiki. It's native to the region, but in the last 20-or-so-years, they have all but disappeared. It's said that only five remain in the wild. Their survival has been left to the care of conservationists, including a postdoctoral student at the Illinois Natural History Survey.
