Title:

Proposal for the extension of Puu Makaala Natural Area Reserve

Year:

2010

Subject:

Habitat conservation Public lands management

Summary:

A portion of the Kulani Correctional Facility, TMK (3) 2-4-008-009, is proposed for inclusion in the State of Hawaii Natural Area Reserve System (NARS). This proposed NAR would protect approximately 6,600 acres adjacent to the former Kulani Correctional Facility campus. the NAR proposal does not include the developed site of the facility. Extending the Puu Makaala NAR would afford long-term protection to an area of outstanding habitat quality and biodiversity, and where significant conservation management has already occurred. Designation would also facilitate other conservation efforts in the region, strengthening the existing NAR and adjacent partnership lands.
