\u201cHCC is the most visible and largest gathering of our community, where we celebrate achievements and colleagues, and mobilize ideas turning them into actions. We know that the last year and near future have been challenging times for our sector,\u201d Sato said. \u201cHCC is a way to maintain momentum, stay focused on our collective missions of native species and ecosystems protection and restoration, and stay strong as a community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHCC is a place for all,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cEveryone has a kuleana and a role to play in m\u0101lama \u02bb\u0101ina…no action is too big or small and there is a place at conference that will resonate with everyone across all sectors and corners of Hawaii, including public private, etc.). HCC is where HCA makes visible our commitments to biocultural stewardship creating an inclusive space where all sciences\/ways of knowing intersect with management, education, etc.<\/p>\n
