Lāna‘i Community
Stewardship Program
Introduction of game animals such as axis deer and mouflon sheep in the early 1900s disrupted the natural balance of the landscape. For more than a century, deer overpopulation has led to issues with erosion, vegetation loss and decline of native species. Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center’s Stewardship Program is part of Kuahiwi a Kai, an initiative supported by National Fish & Wildlife Foundation and Pūlama Lāna‘i to restore health to Lāna‘i’s Keomoku Region.
