IGE <br />GOVERNOR <br />SUZANNE D. CASE <br />CHAIRPERSON <br />FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br />August 7, 2015 <br />PUBLIC MEETINGS PLANNED TO UPDATE HAWAII STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN <br />HONOLULU -- The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is seeking public input on its updated Hawaii <br />State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), which lays out the strategy and plans of DLNR and its partners to address the <br />conservation needs of Hawai'i's native wildlife over the next 10 years. <br />The State Wildlife Action Plan reviews the status of the state's native terrestrial and aquatic species, over 10,000 of which <br />are found nowhere else on earth, and presents strategies for long-term conservation of these species and their habitats. <br />The plan is being updated to continue the coordinated and comprehensive planning, and implementation of conservation <br />strategies and actions to manage and restore native wildlife. <br />Completion of the plan will also enable DLNR's ongoing participation in the national State Wildlife Grant Program, <br />administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which provides over $450,000 per year for projects to conserve native <br />wildlife. This plan identifies the projects, strategies and priorities for Department funding under this grant program. <br />A copy of the 2015 draft State Wildlife Action Plan is now available for review on the DLNR website, and a copy can be <br />downloaded at http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/wildlife/files/2015/07/SWAP-2015-Pub-draft.pdf. <br />1 <br />
