James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Kahuku, Honolulu County, United States
The James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge spans 1,100 acres across two units, Punamano and Kii, featuring wetlands, ponds, and coastal environments on Oahu.
The refuge, established in 1976, operated under a 55-year lease from the Estate of James Campbell until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service purchased portions in 2005.
The refuge protects four native Hawaiian waterbirds: the alae kea, koloa maoli, alae ula, and aeo, which hold significance in Hawaiian natural heritage.
Public access requires advanced registration for guided tours, available twice weekly from October to February during the non-breeding season of resident birds.
The wetlands serve as a crucial stopover point for migratory birds traveling between Alaska, New Zealand, and Asia, with 119 species documented since 1976.
