At Kapa'au, North Kohala, a dedicated island conservation organization is building Hawai'i's first exclusively native wildlife recovery center. It serves to provide state-of-the-art care and rehabilitation as well as comprehensive wildlife rescue training and public education/outreach programs. The Hawai'i Wildlife Center (HWC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, consists of three integrated facilities: the treatment facility, the interpretive courtyard and the education facility. The Center will operate 7 days per week year-round.
For Hawai'i's vulnerable, too often endangered native species, HWC will perform hands-on rescue and recovery services for sick and injured wildlife and rapid response to oil spill and contaminant incidents. HWC will serve all Hawaiian Islands, including the Northwestern Islands extending to Midway and Kure atolls.
Incorporated in 2006, HWC has raised 100% of the funds needed to complete the Center building in June of 2011. As we look forward to the Grand Opening celebration on November 19, 2011 we ask you to give generously to support the programs to care for sick and injured native wildlife.
Your tax deductible charitable contribution will support treatment, research, training, science education, cultural programs and wildlife recovery work undertaken in cooperation with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the State of Hawai'i Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and many other environmental organizations.
Please kokua! Make your donation to the HAWAI'I WILDLIFE CENTER. Your gift is needed to sustain biodiversity in Hawai'i, and will support the nurturing care of native wildlife for release to natural habitats. Click here if you wish to donate now with a secure online payment.
