Lead the Future of Island Conservation as NTBG's Next President & CEO
A rare and vital role has opened at the helm of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, and it's an invitation to lead one of the world's most significant plant conservation organizations into its next era. NTBG is seeking a President & CEO who is both an inspiring visionary and a grounded leader, someone ready to champion the islands' unique biodiversity with the same adventurous spirit that defines our community. This isn't just about stewardship; it's about elevating the conversation around conservation, blending authentic cultural awareness with sophisticated, impactful growth. For those following Hawaii's evolving relationship between development and preservation, our recent coverage of Starwood's pause on Kauai's glamping village offers a compelling parallel.
Shape Hawaiʻi's future: share your voice on coastal and conservation rules
The ocean and shorelines that define Hawaiʻi deserve our care, and now, our voices. The Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands is proposing amendments to Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules Chapter 13-5, the rules that govern the Conservation District. The Board of Land and Natural Resources gave the green light for statewide public hearings on June 12, 2026, and written comments are open now. This is a real chance to shape how we protect our coastal lands for generations. Whether you're a lifelong resident or a visitor who fell in love with these shores, your perspective matters.

Kauaʻi Coastlines: Safety First, Beauty Endures.
The coastline here isn't just a postcard; it's a living lesson in respect. Kauaʻi Coastlines reminds us that the same surf which delivers breathtaking beauty demands our full attention. It's a straightforward, vital message: the adventure is richer when we return home safely. We love the blend of reverence and responsibility here. This isn't about fear, but about informed joy. For a deeper look at how this spirit of resilience plays out after the recent weather, you might find the piece on Kapaa's power outage and the enduring island spirit a fitting follow-up. That story, like this one, is about community and perspective. So, explore the shore, but do it with aloha and a healthy dose of common sense.
Whispers of Haleakalā: Discovering Maui's Forest Voices
Mist hangs heavy over windward Haleakalā, where the calls of native 'apapane and 'amakihi pierce the quiet above the breeze. This is the world of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, and it's where two technicians are deeply immersed in the data that speaks for these fragile forest voices. We love how this story pulls you straight into the mist and the moss, making you feel the weight of the work. It's a grounded, authentic look at the people behind the conservation, reminding us that protecting this vibrant culture starts with listening.
