Gassmann-Duvall, Renate. 1994. Long-term trapping program for the reduction and elimination of predators at the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, Maui. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, cooperative agreement #14-48-0001-93614. September, 1994.
"A major threat to the breeding success of Hawaiian waterbirds is predation caused by feral alien mammals (Schallenberger 1977. Chang 1990). 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. The trapping program described here is designed for the reduction and elimination of alien predators dogs, cats, mongooses and rats at KPWS as a method to improve Hawaiian waterbird reproductive success. It includes insights, based selectively on recent trapping results, from a federally funded 10 week-long predator removal study conducted 1 March to 15 May 1994 (Gassmann-Duvall 1994); a short synopsis of the study's results are presented later in this document."
