Maui Mauka Conservation Awareness Training will be held Nov. 16 to provide education about native ecosystems and species found in Hawaiʻi — and the projects that are helping to conserve them — to tour operators and guides.

This free training will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Hawaiian Island Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Education Center in Kīhei. Tour operators and guides are encouraged to come. Spots can be reserved by registering at www.mauimauka.org

Environmental interpretation plays a significant role in nature-based tourism and is mutually beneficial to tour operators, visitors, conservation groups and the nature-based tourism economy.
