Ho‘okuleana – it’s an action word; it means, “to take responsibility.” We view it as our individual and collective responsibility to: Participate … rather than ignore; Prevent … rather than react and Preserve … rather than degrade. This is not really a program, it is an attitude we want people to share. The world is changing; let’s work together to change it for the better.

Food Forest
It’s a forest managed to provide habitat and food for recovering endangered bird species. The Keauhou Bird Conservation Center (KBCC) Discovery Forest is a project and part of Hawaiʻi Forest Institute’s (HFI) Mahalo ʻĀina: Give Back to the Forest Program. KBCC is reestablishing self-sustaining populations of critically endangered Hawaiian birds in the wild.
The Hawai‘i Endangered Bird Conservation Program breeds endangered Hawaiian birds in captivity, for release back into the wild. The trees planted school groups are the beginning of a new native tree forest that will support the native bird species in the future.
