Maya Elaine Higa (born May 24, 1998) is an American conservationist, falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, Twitch streamer and YouTuber.
She is the founder of Alveus Sanctuary, a non-profit exotic animal sanctuary and virtual education center based in Austin, Texas, and the host of the Conservation Cast, a conservation podcast on Higa's Twitch channel designed to connect her audience and conservationists.
Maya Elaine Higa was born to a Japanese father and an American mother in Northern California on May 24, 1998, and grew up there on a farm as the youngest sibling with her parents, two brothers, and a sister.
Higa began streaming on Twitch in February 2019.
Her streams consist of various activities such as music and falconry, along with spreading conservation awareness.
Early in her streaming career, she saw significant growth after a falconry video with her juvenile red-tailed hawk named Bean went viral on Reddit.
In July 2019, Higa started the Conservation Cast, a podcast where viewers learn about animals and gather information from experts such as conservationists, wildlife enthusiasts, and scientific communicators.
The first episode of the podcast raised US$3,000 for the American Eagle Foundation.
The podcast has also featured speakers from organizations such as Save the Rhino, the Exotic Feline Rescue Center, and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
Conservation Cast has raised more than US$80,000 with 63 episodes for wildlife protection organizations around the globe.
Higa began dating fellow Twitch streamer Matthew Rinaudo, also known by his online alias Mizkif, in 2019.
On September 14, 2021, Rinaudo announced on Twitter that he and Higa had ended their relationship.

The stream was highlighted by an auction that sold off items such as a golden shovel owned by Sodapoppin, Gucci loafers owned by T-Pain, and a signed jersey from xQc.
The most expensive item auctioned off was a 1-hour gaming session with streamer and former professional CS:GO player Shroud, purchased by fellow streamer Ludwig Ahgren for US$53,000.
