Feasibilityand opportunity can change according to many factors, including practical logistics of management access, currentlandowners/managers, political and social incentives and disincentives,public support for conservation actions, pertinent policies and lawsmandating protection, history of conservation effort, regional economic health, and capacity ofconservation partners. Analyses of these factors are continuallyunderway by conservation planners. Current Action SitesUsingconservation value as a primary driver, with some adaptation forfeasibility and opportunity differences among the conservation areas,the action sites that emerged as highest priorities for TheNature Conservancy are as follows, arranged by Stratification Unit:KAUA‘I: Kaua‘i Conservation Area O‘AHU: No Conservation Area selected MAUI NUI: East Maui Conservation Area East Moloka‘i Conservation Area HAWAI‘I: Ka‘ū-Kapāpala Conservation Area Kona Conservation Area Remaining sites within the portfolio are approached as partnershipsites, recognizing their conservation value, and driven by opportunity.We are committed to their protection and management, but look toconservation partners to lead efforts while we play a more supportive rolein the appropriate partnership efforts. Whetherpriority action sites, portfolio sites, or other areas of conservationvalue, the driving conservation issue is management and abatement ofthreats to species, communities, and ecological systems.
