Английская Википедия:Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox protected area The Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge on the island of [[Kauai|KauaШаблон:Okinai]] in [[Hawaii|HawaiШаблон:Okinai]]. It is located within the Hanalei River Valley along the island's northern shore. The Refuge was established on 30 November 1972 for the conservation of endangered plants and animals,[1] especially the Hawaiian stilt, Hawaiian coot, Hawaiian gallinule and Hawaiian duck.
Geography
The Refuge is a relatively flat river valley ranging from Шаблон:Convert above sea level and is surrounded by steep wooded hillsides up to Шаблон:Convert high. The average annual temperature is approximately Шаблон:Convert, and annual rainfall usually exceeds Шаблон:Convert. At the southeastern end of the Refuge, water from the Hanalei River is diverted into an east and west supply ditch. It then flows northwest and irrigates approximately Шаблон:Convert of taro and Шаблон:Convert of wildlife impoundments before returning to the river. The Refuge encompasses a total area of approximately Шаблон:Convert.
Wildlife
The Refuge hosts five endangered waterbirds, the āeШаблон:Okinao (Hawaiian stilt, Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), Шаблон:Okinaalae kea (Hawaiian coot, Fulica alai), Шаблон:Okinaalae Шаблон:Okinaula (Hawaiian moorhen, Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis), koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck, Anas wyvilliana), and nēnē (Hawaiian goose, Branta sandvicensis), as well as 18 other introduced bird species.[2]
Public use
Refuge wetlands are closed to the public to protect the endangered waterbirds and taro crops. Limited access is allowed along a county river road. There are interpretive panels located at the Hanalei Valley overlook, across from the Princeville Shopping Center. A new overlook/visitor center is planned for an area adjacent to the refuge near the existing rudimentary overlook.[2]
Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge includes the HoШаблон:Okinaopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] A nonprofit association conducts historic and environmental education activities for local school groups and visitors under a Special Use Permit.
