Malo (also known as Temotu Neo) is an island in Temotu Province, in the nation of Solomon Islands. [1] [2] [3] The large neighbouring island is Nendö.
Environment
Malo, along with neighbouring Nendö, has been identified by BirdLife International as an 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]
