Endangered Island Blooms
Hawaii’s native hibiscus, like the delicate Hibiscus arnottianus, are rare treasures found only in the islands’ wild landscapes.
Of the 11 species of hibicus found exclusively on the Hawaiian archepelago, 7 are now considered endagered.(2020)

A Race Against Time
Less than 5% of insects in Hawaiian coastal areas are native to the islands. Hawaiian yellow-faced bees are one of a very few native insects left. (2021)
Hawaii’s yellow-faced bees are vital pollinators of the islands’ unique ecosystems, and they are teetering on the brink of extinction.(2022)
Habitat destruction, invasive species, and competition from non-native bees have drastically reduced their numbers.
Our mission is to protect and restore Hawaii’s unique ecosystems, safeguard endangered species, and inspire a sustainable future by fostering a deep connection between people and the natural beauty of the islands.
The Edge of Extinction
Two-thirds of Hawaiian native avian diversity — 95 species — has disappeared since human settlement of the islands 1,600 or more years ago, earning the state its grim label as “the bird extinction capital of the world.” (2022)
In 2022, U.S. Fish and Wildlife services declared 21 species of previously endangered birds extinct – 8 of which where native to Hawaii. (2023)
