Justification for EICAT assessment


Competition with Saffron Finches (Sicalis flaveola) may have caused a absence or reduced populations of native birds in Puna (Hawaii). Other possible factors for decline are habitat fragmentation, degradation and loss. There is no evidence for a local extinction of these species (Reynolds et al. 2003).

Description of impacts
