At the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) Response, our mission is to protect Hawaii's communities, industries, and natural environment from the threats and impacts of CRB. In this short presentation, we'll cover what is a CRB, why do we care, who is the CRB Response, and how you can help.

Part of the "Line in the Sand" series, this program presents useful information on the distribution, life cycle, and control of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle.

Leaders of Keiki O Ka 'Aina Family Learning Centers, a statewide non-profit organization, share their deep concerns about the potential devastating impact of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle on Hawaii's environment, economy, and perhaps most importantly, culture. If the beetle cannot be eradicated or controlled, it could threaten the perpetuation of cultural practices that are based on the coconut, loulu, kalo, and other culturally significant plants.

This is the final of three videos about Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle outreach with teachers and students. Malama Learning Center has been working in partnership with the Coconut Rhinoceros Response Team and many others to share information about this invasive pest so that more people in the community can watch out for the beetle and report their findings. This is an example of aina and place-based education in action! This video was created for Malama Learning Center through a grant from the USDA APHIS program.

The Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB for short) is an invasive insect that has found its way to Hawai'i. Native to SE Asia, it is now spreading across Asia and the Pacific. It's favorite food? Coconut trees and palms! It has damaged or killed almost all coconut trees on Guam. What would it be like if Hawai'i lost all its coconut trees and palms? Learn the background on these pasts and how you can identify and stop them from spreading.
