  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Many agencies and interest groups are committed to re-establishing components of Guam's native avifauna through the reintroduction of captive-reared birds or translocation from other islands in the Marianas if the Brown Treesnake (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Boiga irregularis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;; BTS) can be eliminated. Island-wide eradication of BTS from Guam continues to appear out of reach, but with recent and future advancement in BTS suppression technology, we may soon reach a point where suppression may enable the reintroduction of some of Guam's extirpated bird species. Our simulations indicate that bird persistence in Guam's forests would only be possible at a suppression level just short of full eradication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
