In May, 2023, the State of Hawai‘i and its multi-agency partnership Birds, Not Mosquitoes began releasing bacteria-infected mosquitoes in East Maui. In October, 2023, mosquito releases began on the island of Kaua‘i. The agencies involved have disregarded serious risks to the health of the people, native birds, wildlife, and the ‘āina.
Since these lab-altered mosquito releases started, we’ve been receiving numerous reports from throughout the islands about unusual mosquito bite reactions. We’re now compiling these reports as part of our ongoing research and documentation. If you’ve been bitten by a mosquito and would like to report the incident, please complete our Mosquito Bite Incident Report.
We’re in the process of challenging these mosquito releases in court, and our Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction hearing to stop the East Maui releases is expected to continue early next year. We’re also working with the community on Kaua‘i to assist with their legal filings, and we’re collaborating with activists throughout the islands to raise awareness and voice our opposition to these dangerous experiments.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to our organization to help us in this David and Goliath battle against government overreach and the big money biotech industry agenda that is threatening the health and future of these sacred lands of Hawai‘i.
