Native Species Spotlight

E komo mai! Welcome to our monthly Native Species Spotlight Blog. As a company deeply rooted in ʻāina, we recognize the importance of preserving and celebrating Hawaiʻi's unique biodiversity. Each month, we'll dive into the fascinating world of one of Hawaiʻi's native flora or fauna, exploring its ecological significance, cultural importance, and conservation status.

Native Hawaiian plants arrived on the islands by natural means; wind, ocean currents, and birds. Native plants are either indigenous (occurring naturally in Hawaii and other locations) or endemic (found only in the Hawaiian Islands). Native flora and fauna played a vital role in all aspects of life related to ancient Hawaiian culture. Learning about Native Hawaiian plants and their uses have the capacity to connect us to Hawaiʻi's cultural past. The echoes of the past can resonate today as we understand, appreciate and grow native Hawaiian plants.

Join us monthly as we uncover the stories and wonders of these remarkable species that call our islands home. By sharing our passion for Hawaiʻi's natural heritage, we aim not only to educate and inspire, but also promote environmental stewardship and conservation efforts. Embark on this journey of discovery by subscribing to our newsletter for monthly updates and insights on the native treasures of Hawaiʻi nei. Together, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the beauty and resilience of our beloved home.
