The Hawaii Conservation Alliance will host its 23rd annual Hawaii Conservation Conference from Aug. 3-6 at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
This year’s conference is titled “Hanohano Hawaii Kuauli: Celebrating Collaboration and Wisdom Across Hawaii’s Ecosystems.” The event observes the power of Hawaii’s tightly-knit communities to draw awareness, excitement and concern toward happenings and issues in local conservation movements.
The Hawaii Conser-vation Conference will feature keynote presentations from dignified and impactful figures in Hawaii’s community, including Aunty Pua Kanahele, Tom Lovejoy, Kamana Beamer and Suzanne Case.
They will lead engaging sessions, forums, workshops, cultural presentations, panels, poster presentations and networking and training opportunities, as well as off-site huakai sessions that enable participants to witness firsthand the ways in which Hawaii Island conservation projects come together to protect precious native habitats.
Presentations will take place concurrently at various locations across the UH-Hilo campus.
