A lot of great news came out of NWF's annual meeting. Among the most exciting for our region: The team from Conservation Council for Hawai'i was there in force!

Over three days, we met with organizations from all over the United States and Puerto Rico. Our Executive Director @joneepeters led a panel about marine biodiversity, and we heard from advocates fighting for Indigenous-led conservation and stewardship.

One word: Heartbreaking.

Hot temps are hitting the NW coast.
Are you prepared to beat the heat? 😎

El Nino is here and scientists fear it'll be big, bad and costly with heat, floods, droughts, fires U.S. meteorologists say an El Nino has formed. That's the natural warming of parts of the Pacific that changes weather around the globe.

How can your summer mountain hikes help pikas?

If you've ever hiked past a rocky mountain slope and heard a sharp, high-pitched "eeep!", there’s a chance you’ve been in the presence of a pika. These round rabbit relatives stay active year-round, braving harsh mountain winters by relying on summer food stashes and thick snow for insulation.

Sadly, shifting weather patterns and declining snowpack are threatening their high-altitude habitats. We need your help to monitor them.

We are calling on outdoor enthusiasts to join our community science efforts. While you’re exploring the peaks this summer, let us know if you spot or hear a pika! Learning exactly where they are thriving or struggling is key to tracking their population patterns over time.
