Banggai Crow (Corvus unicolor)
The Banggai Crow, unique to Indonesia, sports a length of around 15 inches, a mid-size in the crow world. Its glossy plumage is predominantly black, while its dark eyes have pale irises. This species is adapted to dense forest habitats in the Banggai Islands. Previously thought to be extinct, searches in the early 2000s rediscovered them. Since then, local communities and governments have taken measures like awareness campaigns and promotion of forest protection. Today, they are critically endangered, with less than 250 mature Banggai Crows in the wild3. |

Mariana Crow (Corvus kubaryi)
The Mariana crow (Corvus kubaryi) (Chamorro name: Γ₯ga) is a species of the crow family from the tropical Western Pacific. It is a glossy black bird about 15 inches (38 cm) long and known only from the islands of Guam and Rota. It is a rare bird which has steadily declined in numbers since the 1960s.[2] On Guam there are no remaining native Mariana Crows, the population having been decimated by the introduction of the brown tree snake.[3] On Rota the population has declined to fewer than 200 individuals,[4] the main threats here being the reduction of suitable habitat because of development and predation. Despite translocations from Rota to the Guam National Wildlife Refuge in the late 1990s and early 2000s, by 2011 the Mariana Crow was extirpated from Guam.[5] Current conservation efforts on Rota include habitat protection,[6] and a captive rear-and-release program.[7] The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated the bird as being "critically endangered". |

Hawaiian Crow (Corvus hawaiiensis)
The Hawaiian Crow, or Alala, is a medium-sized bird at 19β20 inches long. Notably, it flaunts stark black feathers with brown-tinged wings and tail and a thick, strong beak. Our last type of crow is the rarest of all corvids and became extinct in the wild in 2002, mainly due to habitat destruction and diseases. However, through conservation efforts, captive birds rose from 20 in the 90s to 115 individuals in 2014. They have been reintroduced into native Hawaiian forests since 2016. |
