Conservation Council for Hawai‘i (CCH)

Conservation Council for Hawai‘i (CCH) is one of Hawai‘i’s oldest and most active wildlife organizations, operating since 1950 as a state-level conservation and advocacy group and serving as the Hawai‘i affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation. The organization focuses on policy advocacy, coalition building, education, and community-facing events to protect native species and habitats across the islands.

In the last 2–3 years CCH has maintained a visible program of public events (including its annual Manu o Kū festival and membership & awards meetings), advocacy campaigns on ocean and endangered-species protections, and legal/negotiated actions to reduce threats to seabirds and other native wildlife. CCH continues to engage members, partner organizations, and the public through volunteer opportunities, legislative alerts, and community outreach while operating as an active, donor-facing 501(c)(3).
