Conservation was law in Hawai’i of old and Hawai’i of today is trying to catch up with the growth the islands are still experiencing. Our company has joined the Conservation Council for Hawai’i for a second year. A Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) of today Julie Leialoha is the President of this wonderful and informative Group.

From Julie Leialoha. “It is a responsibility to ensure that our lands are kept in perpetuity for all generations to come. Our culture is deeply rooted in the land and sea water. Whether it is trudging in knee-deep mud to find the rarest of plants or giving testimony to political officials in an air-conditioned office, working to save Hawai’i’s natural heritage has been the heart and soul of my entire adult life and will be for the rest of my day. My only hope is that we can protect what we have left before it is too late.”

The Conservation Council for Hawaii (CCH) is completely supported by private contributions from individual members and by grants from foundations. We are dedicated to the conservation and better management of Hawai’i’s natural resources. Every membership dollar you send will go far in protecting our unique island home.

Here are some hightlights of what we are doing:

Policy : This past year two of our high-priority bills were passed by the state legislature addressing global warming and invasive species. We continue to work with elected officials to strengthen the laws that protect the ‘aina (the land)

Service: Recently , we sponsored service trips at the Halakau National Wildlife refuge on the Big Island and along the Manoa Cliffs Trail above Honolulu. Projects in for remainder of 2008 include more work in restoring native forests along the Manoa Cliff Trail. We are also taking the lead in helping to protect the unique sinkholes at Kalaeloa.

Education :Last year , we produced a poster and teacher’s guide featuring the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This year’s poster celebrates Kawai Nui Marsh on O’ahu. It will be distributed free of charge to all schools in Hawaii.

Please send your check or money order to help this important organization.

Of course this is Tax Deductable. I would hope new home owners of the islands could see the importance of helping local organizations like this one.
