About the ProjectBrown treesnakes (BTS; Boiga irregularis) were accidentally introduced in Guam shortly after the end of World War II. Over the next several decades, their introduction caused an ecological disaster that led to the loss of almost all of Guam’s native forest birds. Today, only two native forest birds persist on Guam: the Mariana Swiftlet and the Micronesian Starling. After decades of developing tools to control and suppress brown treesnakes, bird restoration efforts on Guam are finally possible! Asan Beach Park is an ideal location for snake eradication and bird restoration for a number of reasons. Why Asan Ridge?
