Wildlife of Hawaii

            People of Hawaii are contributing their time, money, and effort for a cleaner and longer sustained wildlife. They want to enhance, protect, manage and conserve Hawaii’s natural and limited cultural and historic resources for current and future visitors as well as its own people. With the public and private places partnering, trust for a better future is ensure.

            Natural beauty of Hawaii isn’t fully sure that it will stay beautiful. Land in Hawaii is being destroyed everyday. Wild pigs and goats destroy the native forests because it digs holes in the grounds and strips the mountain-side vegetation. These animals came to Hawaii millions of years ago by humans. Hawaii should make a huge play in this because the nothing holds the rocks and soils when the rain falls from washing down to the sea. We need the native forests to protect mountain slopes from erosion for the land to retain the rainfall during heavy rain. The people of Hawaii should spend money and put forth effort to keep ruining these native forests. If we keep letting wild animals destroy these lands, it will eventually be destroy by the rain. Hawaii’s people are trying to keep it’s natural reputation the same.

            Many organizations are volunteering to preserve its lands. Hawaii has 2million acres of land and 1.2 million acres of state owned land. Little over half of the land is used by people. They are trying to conserve the endangered species that lives in these areas by taking care of these animals and keeping it from harm. This will ensure that that these species are surviving for a long time. Endangered species such as Akepa are taken by the Endangered species committee. Currently, species of animals, insects, and plants are increasing. They created an act to also care for these wildlife. Lands are needed to be taken care of in order for life to have a home. Moving forward for the higher recovery of the habitats that were lost.

            We have to protect what we have if we want future generations to continue. Changes in climate can lead to ecosystems as well as birds, mammals, and other wildlife. This is how our land is effected by other things we cant control. More projects are created to mantain our resources, land, and animals. 

             Little differences can make huge changes in hawaii. This is why we need to keep alert of what's happening to our lands and it's animals. There is approximately 44 animals and 273 plants that is endangered and many of them is close to extinction.
