The Kealia Pond National Wildlife sanctuary is along Sugar Beach in North Kihei (Maui). It is an area that is home to upwards of 30 native and migratory bird species.

Koa seedlings were planted in East Maui (Hana) for a new native bat

habitat restoration site. The Hawaiian hoary bat (ʻŌpeʻapeʻa) is the only native terrestrial mammal in Hawaii. It is also on the endangered species list, so this habitat will give the bats a safe place to hunt, rest and nest. They are solitary creatures, so spacing the trees a part gives the bats plenty of room to do their thing!
