In November 1999, the East Moloka`i Watershed Partnership (EMoWP) was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding. The EMoWP is the key vehicle for current and future conservation projects on Moloka`i. EMoWP contains perennial streams with renowned ecological integrity, supporting all of the endemic, freshwater macro-fauna known from Moloka‘i. The terrestrial biodiversity includes more than 50 natural communities (four of which are unique to Moloka‘i). The area also includes 248 endemic Hawaiian flowering plant species of which 39 are endangered and 25 are found only on Moloka‘i.
