Hawaii Wildlife Center

Hawaii Wildlife Center

The Hawaii Wildlife Center (HWC) is a native bird and bat hospital and conservation center in Kapaau on Hawaii Island. Since it began operations in 2012, the HWC’s wildlife hospital has provided quality rehabilitative care to native birds and bats from throughout the Hawaiian island chain and has continued to grow its critical services including wildlife care, educational programs, research assistance, and wildlife emergency preparedness and response training. Support from the Cooke Foundation funded the care of sick and injured native bird and bat patients at the hospital and helped prepare patients for release back into the wild. The cases at HWC span all levels of complexity, ranging from short-term cases like a downed Uau (Hawaiian Petrel) to long-term cases like an orphaned Io (Hawaiian Hawk), or a Nene with multiple fractures. Many of the species treated at the HWC wildlife hospital are of high conservation concern and each successful release helps protect Hawaii’s valuable native wildlife populations.
