OUR MISSION
to develop, promote, and practice
a native Hawaiian conservation ethic, relevant to our times,
that is responsible to both Hawaiian culture and science.
This ethic is protective of native cultural and natural heritage and is expressed through research, education,
and active stewardship.
‘Ahahui Mālama i ka Lōhaki is a
nonprofit coalition of Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians
devoted to the presevation of native species and
ecosystems, and the importance of their
relationship to Hawaiian culture. We believe
that our culture will be greatly diminished
unless we support efforts to conserve native
Hawaiian ecosystems and species. Our
organization was founded in 1994 to provide a
Hawaiian voice in favor of conservation at a
time when scientists and hunters were in
conflict over forest management. We serve the
Hawaiian community and also offer a voice that reflects the scientific basis and
resource management practices of the greater
conservation community in the Hawaiian Islands. JOIN US!
