Wildlife-Friendly Business Kaua‘i
The Wildlife-Friendly Business (WFB) Kaua‘i Program aims to support and amplify conservation-minded businesses. This is a great opportunity to support the protection of native wildlife while also promoting your business! The Hawai‘i Wildlife Center (HWC) is accepting enrollment contributions by request of the Kaua‘i Wildlife Coalition to support wildlife rescue and hospital operations. One hundred percent of your enrollment fees will go towards HWC’s wildlife programs. Annual membership is $200, with a discount for small businesses that have less than $300,000 in annual revenue.
WFB Members must agree to abide by three key guidelines: to not feed feral cats, to adhere to wildlife-friendly lighting guidelines, and to not release balloons. WFB members with marine operations must also agree to follow NOAA Marine Life Viewing Guidelines. As a member of the WFB Program, you are publicly showing your commitment to the conservation and protection of Kaua‘i’s unique native wildlife through these actions.
Your enrollment contribution supports the medical treatment of native birds and bats at the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center. HWC’s mission is to protect, conserve, and aid in the recovery of Hawai‘i’s native wildlife through hands-on treatment, research, training, science education and cultural programs. Your contribution may be tax-deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor.
All business applicants are reviewed by the Kaua‘i Wildlife Coalition. KWC reserves the right to decline any applicant. Declined applicants will be refunded.
