(Dr. Renate Gassmann-Duvall; September 1994)

The report Long-term Trapping Program for the Reduction and Elimination of Predators at the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, Maui describes a trapping program to control predator dogs, cats, mongooses, and rats in order to improve Hawaiian waterbird reproductive success at Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary. This report was prepared by Dr. Renate Gassmann-Duvall, Ph.D, D.V.M., for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in September, 1994, under Cooperative Agreement No. 14-48-0001-93614.

The Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary (KPWS) is an exemplary location to address both mammalian predator management and Hawaiian waterbird management issues. It is an officially protected sanctuary which contains at least three endangered Hawaiian waterbird species and an abundance of alien mammalian predators.
