Where people are reporting Hawaiʻi species. To protect sensitive wildlife, this view shows activity in areas, never exact spots — sightings are grouped into 5 km zones. For rare animals we wait before showing them, so people don’t rush to them, and we only ever show them where several reports overlap.

Bigger, darker circles mean more reports in that area — counts are shown in broad bands, never exact. Areas with only a few reports are hidden entirely, so no single sighting can be pinpointed.
