The Hawaiian crow or ʻAlalā is species of bird in the crow family
that is currently extinct in the wild.
The last two known wild individuals of the Hawaiian crow disappeared in 2002.
Reintroduction back into the wild programs is currently underway.
Before the Hawaiian crow became extinct in the wild, the species was found only in the western and southeastern parts of Hawaii.
It inhabited dry and mesic forests on the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualālai at elevations of 3,000 to 6,000 feet.
The ʻalalā has been legally protected by the state of Hawaii since 1931 and was recognized as federally endangered in 1967.
The Hawaiian crow's current population is 114 birds, the vast majority of which are in Hawaiian reserves.
