(Hawaii has more endangered species than any other state.) Assistance League of Hawaii has collected over 100 exotic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biofact_(biology)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>biofacts<\/em><\/a> (tiger skin, elephant tooth, piranha, and much more) for students to touch, feel and examine.<\/p>\n<p>Member volunteers travel to Maui, Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, carrying suitcases filled with biofacts and PowerPoint video equipment. They present a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/hawaii\/OWL-Classroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>memorable endangered species program<\/strong><\/a> for students, of which many have not been to a zoo.<\/p>\n<p>This traveling program enhances the\u00a0fourth\u00a0grade endangered species and Earth\u2019s ecosystems in their science curriculum at schools on all major Hawaiian Islands. Students handle a fantastic array of animal skins, skulls, furs and feathers. They gain understanding for the need to care for and conserve natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter provides pre-visit educational materials and absorbs the costs of member volunteers\u2019 airline flights, automobile rental and hotel stay while they are off-island.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/XnQLnWvksK4&#8243;
