2024 is Year of the Hawaiian Forest Birds, I am making a big statement about deepening our relationship with nature, especially our native manu (birds).
You can commit to this Earth Month by symbolically adopting nature as your own ohana (family). Native Hawaiians and indigenous people around the world have done this for generations. In Hawaiian, this practice of informal adoption called “hanai” is extended as a loving expression to others in need of family. In this case not just palila, but endangered species around the world.
We are one big ohana of creatures who share this beautiful planet. As of 2024, there are about 300 Palila left.
Please join us by adopting one small bird, and join in the symbolic bond that makes you feel extra love for, and connection to, all life that sustains us.
Thereʻs still time to join our flock of palila parents! Hanai-a-Palila.
The deadline for adoption is May 30, 2024
If you have any questions regarding this project then please email: info@worm-media.com
Palila adopted so far: 19 / 300
Honoring our Proud Palila Parents
