Hawaii is releasing 500,000 lab-bred, non-biting male mosquitoes weekly via drones to combat avian malaria threatening native birds. These mosquitoes carry Wolbachia bacteria, rendering eggs infertile. The eco-friendly effort aims to reduce mosquito populations and save species like honeycreepers from extinction, marking a bold fusion of science, technology, and conservation.
