Kwiáht

Lopez Island, WA
www.kwiaht.org/

Founded in 2006 by Coast Salish Tribal leader Ken Hansen, “KWIAHT” means a place that has been cared for: an appropriate name for a conservation biology laboratory that leads the way in mapping the marine and terrestrial biodiversity of the San Juan Islands, and engaging in studies of long-term change, including human impacts and climate change. Kwiaht is a pioneer in the use of remote acoustic recorders to monitor rare, shy and nocturnal wildlife such as bats and flying squirrels; and Kwiaht’s research garden is a resource for the conservation of native food and medicinal plants that collaborates with food programs of island communities as well as Treaty Tribes. Kwiaht also provides hands-on STEM enrichment projects every year to the islands’ schools—during the Covid19 pandemic, by making educational videos and challenging families to participate in online “treasure hunts” in the islands’ special places. For more information about Kwiaht, visit http://www.kwiaht.org/kwiaht.htm
