Be a part of the solution
Hawaiʻi is a hotspot of biodiversity with a wide variety of endemic plant and animal species. Many of the threats our native birds face also affect other native species. While most of the work being done is funded by federal and state agencies and public support, some funds also come from private donations. Simply the ongoing conservation efforts cannot be done without public support.
