The Hawai‘i Wildlife Center
“Ultimately
what the Hawai’i Wildlife Center will do is create a place of hope
for all of us who love and care so deeply about Hawai’i’s beauty. This
isn’t just a refuge for native wildlife, this is a refuge for all
of us, our spirit, our hope that we can help to reverse the destructive
impacts we’ve had on Hawai’is wildlife, its environment and
ecology. And what you do for Hawai’i’s living systems you do
for the earth’s living systems.”

Aloha!
The causes of biodiversity and the preservation of Hawai‘i’s native wildlife require more than habitat protection. There is an ever-present need for hands-on care and rapid response capability to aid injured and threatened wild animals. This is the vital missing piece of environmental stewardship that the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center (HWC) is determined to provide for native wildlife in Hawai‘i.
We invite people in Hawai‘i and environmental grant-making foundations nationwide to support our capital campaign to fund construction of Hawai‘i’s first wildlife recovery and educational center.
Since HWC was incorporated in 2006, we have made great strides. A 2-acre building site has been secured in Kapa‘au in North Kohala. Our design/build team has prepared blueprints for a state-of-the-art wildlife care facility. In 2007, the State of Hawai‘i made a $500,000 grant-in-aid to support the Center. In-kind donors and several foundations already have contributed generously. Many federal and state agencies, environmental organizations and community-based groups have declared their strong support. Now we ask you to help.
We invite you to thoroughly examine our mission, experience and work plan. Wildlife rescue and recovery work in Hawai‘i requires many helping hands. Please join our growing circle of donors and supporters. We welcome your donations — and your questions. Call or email HWC for more information about our work and the progress of our capital campaign. Click here if you wish to donate now with a secure online payment.
Mahalo.
