Launched in 2016 as a partnership between Kona Brewing Hawaii and the Waip\u0101 Foundation, MAKANA Waip\u0101: Eat the Invasives has become our most anticipated and significant fundraising event. It has grown into a unique culinary journey that celebrates mindful mea`ai, local ingredients, aloha for abundant healthy \u2018\u0101ina and the beloved space and community that Waip\u0101 has cultivated. Chefs from Hawai\u02bbi pae `\u0101ina work with our team of hunters, fishers, and foragers, staff and community volunteers to prepare delicious culinary creations highlighting invasive species threatening our `\u0101ina. In this especially challenging time, proceeds from this event will provide critically important funding to ensure that Waip\u0101\u02bbs community programming can continue.<\/p>\n
Why Eat The Invasives?<\/strong><\/p>\n As Hawai`i imports 85-90% of our food, terrestrial and marine ecosystems throughout the islands \u2013including Waip\u0101\u2013 are decimated by invasive species ranging from birds and snails to plants, animals and insects. This event will remove thousands of invasive species from our \u2018aina and give cultural food plants and native species a fighting chance.
