National Wildlife Refuges on Oahu
Articles and information about United States national
wildlife refuges on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
Eighty percent of Hawaii's population lives on
the island of Oahu, but the state and the nation
have still managed to set aside three areas as
national wildlife refuges to protect Hawaii's endangered
waterbirds. Endangered birds on Oahu include the
Hawaiian Stilt, the
Hawaiian Moorhen,
the
Koloa, and others.
James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge

This national wildlife refuge is located on the lush windward
side of the island of Oahu. It was established in 1976, when the
Kahuku Sugar Mill closed down, and the surrounding waterbird
habitat was in danger of disappearing.

shore of Oahu in 1972, and it has two parts:
The 37 acre Honouliuli section borders the West Loch of

the Middle Loch and the section of Pearl Harbor where the
USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri Battleship are located.
