Keep Hawaii Wild graphic
The wildlife resources of Hawai`i are national treasures as important as the Liberty Bell or the Statue of Liberty.

And yet, many of our wildlife resources are under increasing pressure in the form of over harvest, illegal hunting, habitat loss, environmental pollution, and introduction of predators or diseases.

Millions of visitors come to Hawai`i each year to experience what defines Hawai`i to the rest of the world, contributing millions of dollars to our State economy.

Wildlife supports us. And that is why we, in turn, need to support our wildlife. Our resources are too precious to take for granted.

Take pride in Hawai`i's wildlife. They're part of your heritage.
