Hatutu Nature Reserve

Hatutu Nature Reserve

The Hatutu Nature Reserve is a nature reserve encompassing the whole of the island of Hatutu in the northern Marquesas Islands. The reserve was declared in 1992, and is the primary nesting site of several endangered species, several of which are endemic, including the Long-billed or Hatutaa Polynesian Warbler ("Acrocephalus caffer (mendanae) postremus") and the Marquesas Ground Dove ("Gallicolumba rubescens"). The Hatutu Nature Reserve is home to one of the most important nesting grounds for the Blue-footed Booby ("Sula nebouxii").
