Division of Forestry and Wildlife: Native Ecosystems Protection & Management | Natural Area Partnership Program Natural Area Partnership Program Natural Area Partnership Program Hawaii’s native species and natural communities do not recognize property lines, and for the State to comprehensively protect them, a program was needed to encourage the management of private lands that contain some of Hawaii’s most intact ecosystems and endangered species.
The Natural Area Partnership Program was established by the Legislature in 1991 to provide state funds on a two-for-one basis with private funds for the management of private lands that are dedicated to conservation. With over 25,000 acres enrolled, this innovative program complements the protection efforts on state lands – a partnership essential for the success of conservation in Hawaiʻi.
