James Campbell NWR is located in Kahuku, Ko‘olauloa on the island of O‘ahu.
One of the few scattered remnants of natural wetlands that still exist on
O‘ahu, the Refuge was established in 1976 for the purpose of providing habitat
for endangered Hawaiian waterbirds. Further expansion was authorized in 2005
for the purposes of providing additional habitat for endangered waterbirds,
migratory shorebirds, waterfowl, seabirds, endangered and native plant
species, endangered ‘īlioholo-i-ka-uaua (Hawaiian monk seal), and threatened
honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle); providing increased wildlife-dependent
public uses; and assisting with flood damage reduction in the local area.

James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge

On the upper slopes of the northern Ko‘olau Mountains exist some of the last
remaining native intact forests on O‘ahu. In December 2000, thousands of acres
became part of the National Wildlife Refuge System to protect and recover
endangered, threatened, and other rare wildlife, and to protect native
biodiversity on the refuge.

O‘ahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge is home to the endangered pūpū kani oe
(O‘ahu tree snails); endangered plant species; and many native birds;
including the O‘ahu ‘elepaio, ‘i‘iwi, pueo, and native honeycreepers.
