From mauka to makai, The Nature Conservancy works with local communities, businesses and
people like you to protect Hawaii's best natural lands and waters. Since 1980, we have established a statewide system of Conservancy preserves, helped create new wildlife refuges and expand national parks, forged partnerships to protect our most important watershed forests and coral reefs, and led efforts to stem the tide of invasive species entering the state. All total, we have helped protect more than 200,000 acres in the Islands.
We invite you to join the effort to preserve Hawaii’s amazing diversity of life. Together, we can help protect the plants and animals that share our world, and nature in turn can help keep alive what is best in our own lives. From coral reefs to snow-capped summits, from stark landscapes of barren lava to lush mountain rain forests teeming with life, The Nature Conservancy safeguards the best of Hawaii's spectacular natural diversity.
Together with our partners, the Conservancy has protected almost 200,000 acres of natural lands in Hawai'i. These acres include 10 Conservancy preserves that provide vital habitat for threatened native species. We also collaborate with others to protect the larger natural systems of which our preserves are a part. This small beach on the Ka`ū Coast is the single most important nesting site in the U.S. for the endangered hawksbill turtle, as well as a refuge for the threatened green sea turtle. The honu`ea (hawksbill) and honu (green sea turtle), the smallest of the world's eight species of sea turtles, are the only two that call Hawai`i home. The species' survival depends upon undisturbed nesting sites and healthy coral reefs, which are their primary habitat. In the Hawaiian Islands, nesting occurs primarily on the Island of Hawai`i.
The Conservancy's acquisition of Kamehame Beach in 2002 ensures that this important nesting location for Hawaiian sea turtles will remain a safe haven for generations to come.
