Hawai‘i’s Executive Budget bill HB300 will be heard by the
Senate Ways and Means Committee
Tuesday 3/18 at 10am
The State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is seeking state funding through the Executive Budget to continue dangerous mosquito release experiments on Maui and Kaua‘i. The DLNR’s 2025-27 Budget Overview briefing for HB300 includes reference to novel strategies to address mosquito-borne avian malaria. Current strategies are focused on the release of millions of experimental Wolbachia-bacteria infected mosquitoes in our islands’ conservation areas and fragile ecosystems. Please speak out to oppose funneling state budget resources into the continuation of this reckless onslaught on our environment. (see the full article by Hawai'i Unites, here)
