Scientists were racing to save this rare bird from extinction. Then came the super typhoon.
When the Mariana crow calls, it’s taken as a warning. To the Indigenous CHamoru people of the Mariana Islands, the bird is known as the Åga, an ancestral messenger who alerts the community of impending illness or weather disaster. In the dense canopy of Rota’s limestone forest, where the Mariana crow lives, it is a gardener — a key seed disperser from which the lush canopy grows. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the species is endemic to Guam and the nearby island of Rota, a US territory, which means they live nowhere else on Earth. They once numbered in the thousands. But over the past 60 years, they have vanished from Guam and dwindled on Rota. Roughly 300 survive today. Now teetering on the brink of extinction, every remaining Mariana crow represents a fragile ecosystem and a deep cultural lineage the islands cannot afford to lose. Researchers from the University of Washington and ecologists from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance are working tirelessly to make sure that doesn’t happen. The effort to prevent the bird’s precipitous decline in the wild has been underway for more than two decades. Beginning in 2005 with field monitoring and observation,...

Well, in terms of Hawaii, you have massive gentrification, and not many are fond of militarism either-both which impact First Nation/Indigenous demographics. Other implications are also ecological. With Alaska, I can't speak entirely because I'm CHamoru(Guam type) but there have been effects w/ oil.
