The Puú O Kali forest, located below the Haleakula crater on Maui, has been described in a scientific survey as “arguably the best remaining stand of native wiliwili forest in the world.” This dryland forest, home to several endangered plant species, is being rapidly degraded by feral axis deer.

Seacology, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and other organizations will construct a deer-proof enclosure surrounding a diverse 220-acre forest tract in the southwest corner of Pu’u o Kali.
