The Hawaiian Goose, Branta sandvicensis, or Nēnē, is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The official bird of the state of Hawaiʻi, the Nēnē is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi. The Nēnē gets its Hawaiian name from its soft call. They were saved from extinction in the 70's by a captive breeding programme at Slimbridge WWT.
