Controlling ungulate populations in native ecosystems in Hawaii
"Controlling ungulate populations in native ecosystems in Hawaii" is a 2005 position paper presented by the Hawaii Conservation Alliance.
The high cost of having no control program
Fencing free-roaming game mammals is expensive, but not doing it costs more. The economic and social costs of game mammal damage are explained.
The need for speedy reform of Hawaii's game management program
A description of the feral pig problem in Hawaii with excellent photographs and facts about the impacts pigs are having on native plants and animals are on this Rare Hawaii site.

"Rare Hawaii" provides images and information about the impact of the feral pig (Sus scrofa) on native ecosystems in Hawaii.
Non-native species in Haleakala National Park
Haleakala's strategy to fence the park to exclude alien ungulates; remove all populations of feral goats, pigs and deer; and place snares at remote areas to intercept any individual ungulate that penetrates the boundary fence, now preserves the native ecosystems.
