Celebrating Conservation Week
Many people may not know that Hawai‘i is the first state in the nation to recognize the importance of setting aside a week each year for educational activities associated with conserving the natural environment. This is called “Conservation Week” and it is held during the last week of July every year. This year, it runs from July 27 – August 2.

The Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance is spearheading Conservation Week by offering a conservation film festival, art exhibit, and conference all held at the Hawai‘i Convention Center. The film festival runs from July 27 and 28 and the art exhibit will be from July 29 to 31. Both are free and open to the public, as well as an evening presentation by two world renowned ocean explorers, Sylvia Earle and Nainoa Thompson, on July 30. Details on these events can be found at: http://hawaiiconservation.org/2008cw.asp.
In addition, the Arts at Marks Garage located in Chinatown will host the exhibit “EcoLogic” from July 29 to September 6. The exhibit will showcase the work of more than 17 artists who embrace and challenge the relationship between humans and the natural environment. EcoLogic will run through two First Fridays (August 1 and September 5) so be sure to catch at least one! |
