Mālama
Hawai‘i gathered in its entirety for the first time at an
inaugural event, which is alternatively referred to as the “birthday”
or the “launch.” Sixty partners signed their memoranda
on the summer solstice, June 21, 2000, at Hanaiakamālama,
Queen Emma’s Summer Palace in Honolulu. Since then, 18 more
organizations and hundreds of individuals have joined Mālama
Hawai‘i to help make our special island home, be a place
where the land and sea are cared for and communities are healthy
and safe for all people.

who have devoted ourselves to activities which promote the preservation
of native species and ecosystems, and which promulgate the importance
of the native environment to our Hawaiian culture. We intend to
provide a voice in our com-munity that is both responsible to
Hawaiian cultural values and practices, and also reflects accurately
the scientific tenets and practices pertaining to conservation
issues.

Department of Land and Natural Resources
 Our
primary mission at DLNR is to safeguard and manage the natural
and cultural resources that are so critical to our quality of
life here in Hawai‘i. To help us achieve our mission, we
are blessed with two wonderful assets: our committed, professional
staff, and the concerned people of our communities who play an
active part in helping us perform our crucial duties.
Despite
our best efforts, many essential resources are sadly taken for
granted, such as our supply of fresh drinking water. Only in times
of severe weather
do we appreciate dams built to protect our homes. And all too
often, we appreciate the special things we have only after they
are lost, such as eroded beaches or species that have become extinct.
As
partners working toward a common goal, we can raise public consciousness
and foster an appreciation for the resources of our State. Public
education is one of our best tools for protecting and managing
our resources.

The
mission of the Honolulu Botanical gardens is to perpetuate rare
and "common" native Hawaiian plants, as well as wonderful,
interesting, rare and endangered plants from around the world.
We also plan, develop, curate, maintain and study documented collections
of tropical plants for the purposes of conservation, horticulture,
botany, education and passive recreation.
We depend
on volunteers to enhance, maintain and share our five gardens
(Lili‘uokalani, Koko Crater, Foster, Wahiawa, and Ho‘omaluhia)
in different microclimates on the island of O‘ahu. We want
to help people know about the gardens and welcome them to visit
and own their public botanic gardens.

Foundation of Hawaii
 The
Iliahi Foundation of Hawaii's mission is to conserve, protect,
and restore the indigenous trees of the Hawaiian Islands.
We are actively
engaged in conserving, protecting and restoring indigenous native
species of trees in the Hawaiian Islands including ‘iliahi
(sandalwood), wiliwili, koa, kamani, kauila and ohia. One key
objective involves restoring the genus Santalum freycinetianum
tree species of iliahi sandalwood which populated the Hawaiian
Island of O‘ahu in large numbers for millions of years before
the first people arrived from far overseas.
We promote
the conservation, preservation and restoration of indigenous flora
in Hawai’i through research, education and reforestation.

Polynesian
Voyaging Society
 The
Polynesian Voyaging Society is a non-profit, volunteer based organization
which was founded in 1973. The original intent of the organization
was to recreate the epic voyages of exploration and migration
of ancient Polynesians, and to refute those scholars who believed
that the vast nation of Polynesia was settled by chance.
In 1975, the
Society launched Hōkūle‘a, a performance accurate
replica of traditional Polynesian voyaging canoes. In the past
25 years, Hōkūle‘a and her crews have retraced
all of the traditional Polynesian migratory routes and sailed
nearly 100,000 miles, more than 4 times the circumference of the
Earth. All of this voyaging has been in the way of the ancients
-- without any navigational instruments.
Having traveled
to each of the points of the Polynesian Triangle and participated
in a renaissance of cultural pride throughout the Pacific, PVS
is now attempting to take the lessons it has learned over the
last quarter century to make a lasting contribution to Hawai‘i.
It is our belief that one of the most effective ways to do this
is through meaningful educational and community programs.
In that spirit,
we have adopted the Mālama Hawai‘i vision -- That Hawai‘i,
our special island home, be a place where the people, land and
sea are cared for, and communities are healthy and safe.

our efforts are concentrated on recovering about 320 threatened
and endangered species, as well as protecting migratory birds
and coral reefs. Nine National Wildlife Refuges across the archipelago
provide habitat for many of these species, but we also provide
assistance to other Federal, State, and private landowners on
an as-requested basis. Several of our National Wildlife Refuges
offer opportunities for visitors to learn about Hawai‘i's
true nature... or join us as a volunteer!

Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division
 The
US Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division has17 regional
research centers, including the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research
Center based in Hawai‘i. The principal areas of focus for
the Hawai‘i center include: determining the status of the
native species of plants and animals in their ecosystems, identifying
disease and other factors currently limiting the distribution
and abundance of the native species, and developing techniques
to reduce or eliminate alien species in the native habitat. In
keeping with the mission of Mālama Hawai‘i, the Pacific
Island Ecosystems Research Center provides the research information
to management agencies responsible for establishing the policies
that provide long-term protection to the land and the living resources
of Hawai‘i.
