**************************************
Sample of VOs:
VO 1
IN A LOWLAND FOREST SURROUNDED BY A SUBURBAN SUBDIVISION ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII, A SMALL NATIVE BIRD IS MAKING HISTORY.
VO 2
THE HAWAIIAN HONEYCREEPERS ONCE THRIVED THROUGHOUT THE ISLANDS, BUT WERE DECIMATED BY HABITAT DESTRUCTION AND DISEASE DURING THE LAST TWO CENTURIES. THE BIRDS ARE NOW CONFINED PRIMARILY TO THE HIGH SLOPES OF HAWAII’S VOLCANOES.
VO 3
BUT ONE HONEYCREEPER, THE AMAKIHI, HAS MADE AN ASTONISHING COMEBACK IN THE LOWLANDS.
VO 4
A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS AND VOLUNTEERS HAS TEAMED UP TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE AMAKIHI’S SUCCESS. MODERN BIOLOGICAL DETECTIVES, THEY USE CLUES FROM GENETICS TO PARASITOLOGY TO DISCOVER WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS NATIVE BIRD.
VO 5
WHAT THEY LEARN MAY HELP SAVE THE REST OF HAWAII’S DISAPPEARING FOREST BIRDS.
IN LOWLANDS FORESTS WHERE NATIVE HONEYCREEPERS ARE EXTREMELY RARE, THE RE-EMERGENCE OF THE AMAKIHI WAS A SURPRISE.
VO
THE AMAKIHI’S RECENT EXPLOSION IN THE LOWLANDS COULD BE EXPLAINED BY THE COMPLEX INTERACTION BETWEEN ISLAND HISTORY, ECOLOGY, AND EVOLUTION.
VO
ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE INVESTIGATION, YOUNG VOLUNTEERS SPEND HUNDREDS OF HOURS GATHERING DATA IN THE FIELD.
VO
THE POROUS VOLCANIC SOILS DON’T HOLD WATER, MAKING THEM UNHOSPITABLE TO MOSQUITO LARVA.
VO
NOT LONG AGO, HAWAI’I HAD NO MOSQUITOES. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM THE NEAREST CONTINENT, IT WAS JUST TOO FAR TO FLY. HOW DID MOSQUITOES GET TO HAWAI’I IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND WHY ARE THE DISEASES THEY CARRY SO DEADLY TO NATIVE BIRDS?
//
VO
IT’S DAWN. HIGH ON THE SLOPES OF MAUNA LOA VOLCANO, THE SONG OF NATIVE HONEYCREEPERS GREETS THE DAY, AND A CREW OF VOLUNTEERS FROM THE USGS BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES DIVISION SETS OFF FOR THE FIELD. SOMETIMES HIKING MILES ACROSS HARDENED LAVA THE WORK CAN BE GRUELING. BUT IF THEY’RE LUCKY, THEY WILL SEE SOME OF THE ONLY LIVING EXAMPLES OF THE MOST ENDANGERED BIRDS IN THE WORLD.
VO
THE BIRD TEAM NOT ONLY TESTS FOR DISEASE. THEY RECORD EACH BIRD’S CONDITION, AND THEY’LL ALSO TAKE BLOOD SAMPLES BACK TO THE LAB FOR DNA ANALYSIS.THE DATA THEY COLLECT HOLDS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE SURVIVAL OF THE BIRDS THEY STUDY.
