ACKNOWLEDGMENTSGDAWR would like to acknowledge the assistance given by Diane Vice (BTS Project Lead) and Suzanne Medina (Captive Breeding Project Lead), as well as all the various stakeholders who participated in the drafting of this document. GDAWR also acknowledges the financial assistance provided by the US Department of Interior Office of Insular Affairs and Rare who are the principal sponsors of this project, as well as Cocos Island Resort who donated countless ferry hours and visitation privileges. Finally, the Department must acknowledge the generosity of the US Department of the Interior and appropriations from the Aquatic Nuisance Species, Safe Harbor and Endangered Species grants that has pledged funds to support outreach of current restoration work. GDAWR is thankful for the technical support and in-kind contributions from cooperating agencies and local business such as: USFWS, USDA, GEPA, GVB, GTA, GuamCell, and Guam Parks and Recreation. It is GDAWR’s sincere hope that the campaign outlined here will not only garner support for native species conservation but also approval for invasive, feral, and nuisance species eradication programs, such as the “Ko’ko for Cocos” project, and the prevention of reinvasion once removal in commensal settings occurs. The department’s use of social marketing techniques is expected to continue in tandem with future conservation projects. REFERENCES Best, B. R., and C. E.
