Malo (Solomon Islands)

Malo (also known as Temotu Neo) is an island in the Solomon Islands; it is located in Temotu Province.[1][2][3] The large neighbouring island is Nendö.

Environment

Malo, along with neighbouring Nendö, has been identified by BirdLife International as a Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports a population of the endemic Santa Cruz shrikebills, also known as the Nendo Shrikebill. Potential threats to the site come from logging and cyclones.[4]
