Plight of the Palila talk

Join Jackson Bauer from MKFRP as he speaks about the plight of the Palila on Friday, June 28th at 7pm in the planetarium.

The Mauna Kea Forest Restoration Project (MKFRP) protects and restores the high elevation forest of Maunakea. This forest is home to the native finch-billed bird, the Palila. The Palila feeds mostly on the pods of the mamane tree. The bean pods are highly toxic, but the Palila are the only birds immune to its effects. Because of habitat loss and degradation, the Palila are critically endangered and need our help to survive.

Cost is $8 for Individual, Dual, Kupuna and Family members; $6 for Patron Members; Free for Silver, Gold and Corporate Members. Non-member rate is $10. Pre-purchase tickets at the ‘Imiloa front desk or by phone at 969-9703.
