On this week’s episode, Manu and Mehana are joined by Bret Nainoa Mossman to discuss one of our favorite topics – manu! No, not our gracious and eloquent co-host; the other manu – birds! Nainoa is a conservationist and founder of Birds Hawaiʻi Past Present, an organization that seeks to rebuild our connection to native birds. In typical Midday Manaʻo fashion, the conversation starts with birds, but touches on a range of other topics including mele, reforestation, food sovereignty and sustainability, mosquitoes, and even the kumulipo.  For information about Birds Hawai’i Past Present, visit: www.birdshawaiipastpresent.com  For more information about the Environmental Assessment to control mosquitos and avian malaria on East Maui, visit: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=306&projectID=102795&documentID=125202Comment period: Dec 6, 2022 - Jan 23, 2023
