Availability of Draft Recovery Plan for the Hawaiian Hoary Bat, Lasiurus cinereus semotus, for Review and Comment

概要

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of a draft recovery plan for the Hawaiian hoary bat, Lasiurus cinereus semotus. This subspecies is known from the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Molokai. Population numbers are not known, but Hawaiian hoary bats are observed regularly only on Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui, and the bat is apparently restricted in distribution on the latter two islands. There is a general lack of historic and current data on this subspecies, and its present status is not well understood.
