The Kupu Story | Ho'ahu 10th Anniversary

MAHALO | CEO Year-End Message

It has been an amazing 2017 and 10th year anniversary! I want to personally thank everyone who helped to make it such a memorable and amazing anniversary year. To all our participants, partners, funders, and amazing supporters, thank you so much for all you do to help Kupu make a difference. Read more about our past 10 years and what’s to come in 2018.

SPOTLIGHT | Layla Rohde

Did you know that there are thousands of invertebrate species found only in Hawaiʻi and nowhere else on earth? They evolved over the millennia and play extremely important roles in our native ecosystems. Layla Rohde, a second-year Kupu CLDP member with the DOFAW Invertebrate Program, helps with the recovery of some of these species. Read more.
