Once on the brink of extinction, Nene have been successfully bred in captivity and reintroduced into the wild on most of the main Hawaiian Islands.
Patrick Ching was selected to paint Hawaii's first Wildlife Conservation Stamp. This is a print of Ching's stamp design featuring an oil painting of the Nene (Hawaiian Goose) and goslings in Hanalei Valley on the island of Kauai.
