Care for ʻĀina Now is advocating to keep our communities safe by protecting and restoring our environment.
The health of Hawai‘i’s environment is inextricably linked to the health of our people, communities, and future generations.
Our natural and cultural resources provide over $6 billion in value to our economy each year, yet have been chronically neglected and underfunded for decades. It’s been estimated that we currently face a conservation funding gap of $360 million/year.
Today, this underinvestment continues to be a liability and risk to public safety. The more time that passes without healing our environment, the more lives, places, and communities are at risk of being harmed.
It’s time to change our course.
There are simple ways our State can safeguard our ʻāina and people. By ensuring visitor taxes go back to our environment, resourcing the Department of Land & Natural Resources with additional support, and passing legislation that funds wildfire prevention and ecosystem resilience, we can chart a new course that can sustain us.
We cannot wait.
The time is now.
