In this approximately five and a half-minute video we climb up into the upper Waianae Mountains with Kapua Kawelo and hear her story of how her passion and love of nature turned into becoming a Resource Manager for the U.S. Army Garrison Hawaiʻi’s Oahu Army Natural Resource Program. She explains how she helped the last five remaining Hāhā (Cyanea superba) plants on Oahu bounce back by tipping the balance, restoring the habitat, and moving a small portion of the offspring to higher elevations outside of the historical range where these species had once lived. In this wetter and cooler habitat, the plants are fulfilling their life cycle. This is an amazing example of navigating change with innovative strategies, persistence,...

In this six-minute video, Sierra McDaniel introduces viewers to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Rare Plant Recovery tactics and the threats that these highly endangered species face. However, she speaks of their “Holding the Line” strategies and how important science-based decisions and climate change models have influenced their management efforts to preserve and protect their valuable natural and cultural resources within the park. Through strong partnerships and taking risks, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is not waiting to see what the future holds, rather they are leading by example and building resiliency now!

In this five-minute video Eric Vanderwerf tells the heroic story of Pacific Rim Conservation creating new nesting colonies for Black-footed and Laysan Albatross at James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge on Oahu. Sea level rise and extreme weather events will threaten the survival of their nests all throughout the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This translocation effort to higher islands and choosing locations that are predator free will hopefully be the beginning of conservation actions that will help preserve these magnificent birds. We hope you are inspired by these efforts and we need your help amplifying this story and inspiring the next generation to get involved. This project shares an example of how we can...

The Pacific Island Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) Climate Change Adaptation Video Series are a series of video created in close coordination with the PICCC profiling case studies of climate change adaptation as conducted by conservationists in Hawaiʻi. The videos are necessary in order to help educate, inform, and inspire the general public, peers, and potential conservation managers. The goals and objectives of the videos are to be engaging, exciting, and candid.

In this approximately six and a half-minute video Woody Mallinson, the Natural Resources Manager for Haleakalā National Park, and others discuss working with partners to replant Haleakalā’s iconic species, the silversword. With climate projections indicating warmer and drier conditions, the team is strategically using climate models to identify locations that have a wide range of rainfall, increased elevations, and hopefully conditions that will allow these plants to survive in future conditions. The National Park used a collaborative process to apply the climate science to their decision making process. There are no guarantees that it will work, however scientists like Paul Krushelnycky from the University of Hawai‘i...
