MAUNAKEA

High up on the slopes of one of the tallest mountains in the world is a distinct forest that occurs nowhere else on earth and is home to spectacular native plants and animals, including the critically endangered palila. MKFRP is working hard to maintain this jewel for future generations, and this website will share the story with you.  Aloha mai nei!
