Notice a fallen or broken trap after the recent storms? Our traps play a vital role in monitoring Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) populations and protecting our palm trees. If you see one on Oʻahu that needs attention, please report it online at crbhawaii.org/report or send an email to [email protected] with the location, and we will let our field crew know to repair or replace it as soon as possible.
We hope everyone stays safe from the recent weather!

ʻĀkohekohe (ah ko-heh ko-heh) are big time nectar lovers, often found feeding on native forest flowers — especially ʻōhiʻa lehua. Their unusual fancy crest collects and distributes pollen as the birds move from flower to flower in the forest, helping native plants and trees to regenerate.

ʻĀkohekohe are strong fliers and will “altitudinally migrate” up and down the slope of Haleakalā in search of blooming plants and trees.

These critically endangered forest birds now only survive at elevations between 6,000 - 7,000 feet. Avian malaria from introduced mosquitoes threatens the survival of ʻākohekohe and Hawaiʻi’s other native honeycreepers.
