The Mission of Haleakalā National Park

Haleakalā National Park is an International Biosphere Reserve that supports native ecosystems in a maturing volcanic landscape. As stewards of this park, we will incorporate Native Hawaiian protocols and generational knowledge for the perpetuation of cultural resources, and implement traditional and modern methods for the preservation of natural resources. With the community and other partnerships, we will protect, manage, and interpret these unique resources for the education, experience and inspiration of all peoples and future generations.
