What inspires someone to dedicate their career to conservation? In our first episode, Commissioner Susan “Susie” Fong joins us to talk story about her path to Hawaiʻi, her work protecting lands through community partnerships, and the importance of balancing conservation, cultural stewardship, and resilient communities. From meaningful projects to rapid-fire questions, it’s a conversation that offers a personal look at the people behind Oʻahu’s conservation efforts.

Presented by the City and County of Honolulu’s Clean Water and Natural Lands Program, E Kamaʻilio Pū Kākou explores the people, partnerships, and projects advancing conservation across Oʻahu through thoughtful conversations with commissioners, staff, and community partners.
