After nearly three months working on Fatu Hiva monarch recovery project I finally introduce you to the species. Pomarea whitneyi or Oma’o ke’eke’e in Marquesan language (literally « black bird »), is an endemic bird of Fatu Hiva island, in the Marquesas archipelago. This species is classified as critically endangered, the most advanced status preceding extinction. Once upon a time hundreds of birds occupied the countless valleys of the island but their numbers have slowly decreased and in 2019 only around thirty birds are left, all of them located exclusively in Omoa's valley. The reason of its rapid decline is attributed to feral cats and black rats, two invasive species introduced deliberately or accidentally by humans. Last Fatu Hiva monarch breeding couples remain only thanks to several management actions conducted by Ornithological Society of Polynesia, SOP Manu.
