Conservation Strategies: Matching Science and Management
THE 2007 HAWAI‘I CONSERVATION CONFERENCE

Conservation Strategies:
Matching Science and Management
July 25-27, 2007
Hawai‘i Convention Center, Honolulu, Hawai‘i
Sponsored by the Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance (HCA)
Welcome to the 15th Annual Hawai‘i Conservation Conference (HCC). This is the largest annual
gathering of people actively involved in the protection and management of Hawai‘i’s natural
environment. The purpose of your conference is to facilitate information transfer and interaction
among natural resource managers and the scientific community. It is your opportunity to share
experiences and ideas on a wide range of conservation issues within the 2007 theme of
Conservation Strategies: Matching Science and Management. Mahalo nui loa for your continued
participation and support of the activities of the HCA.
This year is a landmark year for the Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance. It is the 15th anniversary of our
conference and by far our largest one to date. As of July 1, twenty percent more registrations were
received than at that date in 2006. There is a similar increase in presentations to be run in three and four
concurrent sessions. This year the conference theme is Matching Science and Management – straight to
the very core of our activities. Presenters have been asked always to have management in mind. If
management is not presented, you know what the first question should be! The committee also asked for
paired presentations – a paper dealing with an aspect of science followed by a paper dealing with its
management. There are also eleven symposia topping last year’s high of four.
On September 20, 2006 HCA formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, the Hawai‘i Conservation
Alliance Foundation (HCAF), IRS approved in May 2007. This year’s conference is being run by the
HCAF which has completely switched to online registration, payments, and uploading of abstracts. To
provide better communication with the conservation community throughout the year conference attendees
are provided with free membership in the “Friends of Hawai‘i Conservation.”
On May 13, 2007, the 24th Legislature of the State of Hawai‘i passed House Concurrent Resolution 127
recommending the last week of July each year to be Conservation Week. This is a national first for any
State. Over the past several years the HCC committee has developed activities that bring the public into
closer proximity to conservation activities. Our first Conservation Week activities include My Hawai‘i
Nature Writers’ Workshop, Conservation Film Festival, Conservation through Art Exhibition, and our
public lecture, “50 ways to save the ocean” presented by David Helvarg.
