James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge

Oahu's Sanctuary

Nestled near Kahuku on Oahu's northeastern shore, the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge spans over 160 acres, comprising two distinct wetland units. Dedicated to the restoration of Hawaii's endangered water birds – the Hawaiian stilt, Hawaiian moorhen, Hawaiian coot, and Hawaiian duck – this refuge plays a vital role in the conservation of these endemic species, which faced a drastic decline in the 20th century.

As a haven for biodiversity, the refuge strictly limits public access, requiring authorization from the refuge manager or participation in guided tours conducted by refuge staff personnel. Explore the refuge's mission and ecosystem, safeguarding Hawaii's unique avian treasures. For those seeking further information or wishing to embark on this conservation journey, the refuge office awaits on Oahu's north shore in Haleiwa at 66-590 Kamehameha Highway. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge through authorized channels and contribute to the preservation of Hawaii's avian heritage.
