Thoughts from the 2023 Festival
- A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2023 Hawai‘i Island Festival of Birds a big success. Hundreds of people from all over flocked to the Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo to honor the precious native biodiversity in our islands. Working in conservation is difficult – you face a lot of uphill battles, challenges, and dire situations. It’s important that we keep celebrating what we hold dear and maintain this momentum to prevent any further loss of Hawaiian birds. We hope this festival has energized our peers on the frontlines fighting extinction to keep up their fight, Hālau to keep telling the stories of nā manu o Hawai‘i, artists to keep including imagery of native birds in their craft, and everyone who cares about Hawai‘i to get involved in some way. The 2023 festival may be pau, but this is only the beginning.
Keep up the love and energy and we’ll see you all again soon!
