BROWN TREE PEST. Nathaniel
B. Hawley, a herpetologist from the Division of Fish and Wildlife, briefs
members of the Rotary Club of Saipan about the current state of the CNMI's
brown tree snake program, while Rotary Club President Timothy Bellas, left,
looks on. The snakes are blamed for the extinction of certain bird species
on Guam, and even for the power outages on the island. Photo by Haidee
