The Islands of Life
Explore Hawai‘i
Together with our members and conservation partners, The Nature Conservancy has protected more than 200,000 acres of natural lands in Hawai‘i. We have helped create new wildlife refuges and expand national parks, forged dynamic partnerships to protect our most important native forests and coral reefs, and led efforts to stem the tide of invasive species entering the state.
So much has been accomplished. And so much remains to be done. We invite you to join the effort to help protect Hawaii's amazing diversity of life. By working together, we can keep alive the plants and animals that share our world. And nature, in turn, can help keep alive what is best in our own lives.

Visit Our Palmyra Website!
Located a 1,000 miles south of Hawai'i, Palmyra Atoll is one of the most spectacular marine wilderness areas on Earth. Today, Palmyra is a national marine monument and the Conservancy and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service are partnering to protect it. Palmyra is also being developed as a center for scientific study. What we can learn at Palmyra—about global climate change, coral reefs and invasive species—promises to inform conservation strategies for island ecosystems throughout the Pacific and around the world.
