Silent Library
I am a Library
All silent and quiet
When you know what’s inside me
You’ll know all my stories
People may find a whole lot of varieties in me
Then what I may seem
Small and short
But unimaginable on the inside
Stories may be a cold or warm feeling
Books that can’t be seen
What it has to be said, is such a thrilling
At first when you know me, my cover is always going to be weird or hidden
At the end of this story
You will find me friendly and revealing

Final draft
Wildlife 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
ensured.
Hawaii is made up of
2million acres of land and 1.2 million acres of state owned land. It also is a
beautiful place, but leaving it alone and not caring for its reputation the
same. Hawaii has many beautiful flowers and native plants that are so little to
be seen everywhere. We can find these vegetations in tropical forests and
trails. Wild pigs and goats are destroying Hawaii’s land. They like to dig
holes in the ground at native forests and mountainside vegetation. Wild pigs
and goats isn’t all you can find in Hawaii.
Hawaii has many varieties
of different animal life. Even though it lacks land mammals, it is made up of
more birds, insects, and ocean dwellers. There is approximately 44 animals and
273 plants that is endangered and many of them close to extinction. Among the
birds found here, most are endangered. Some of them include the Hawaiian duck,
Hawaiian Coot, and lysan albatross. Hawaii has only two native mammals left,
the Hawaiian monk seal, and the Hawaiian hoary bat. Overtime, population drops
because these species are hardly anywhere to be found, also it doesn’t produce
more of its own. Seeing a Hawaiian animal is something rare to find everyday.
What protects this wildlife is it’s home. We have to stop destroying or cutting
down the natural forests and ecosystems. Letting this happen will surely
increase extinction time for the native animals.
Many organizations are volunteering
to protect these Hawaiian animals. To protect endangered birds, Hawaii has made
a program called Hawaii’s Endangered Bird Conservation Program. What this
program does is that they try to take out predators and parasites. This will
protect them by not having to be a meal by other animals. Doing this doesn’t
also protect birds, but also other wildlife such as different mammals and
plants. The U.S. and Hawaiian government has also enforced strict hunting laws,
educating, and working with private land owners and organizations. These laws
will play against those who involve with these ecosystems. Similar rules and
regulation also were made for the Hawaiian Monk seal. Keeping visitors or
people from killing, disturbing, and swimming with them
We have to continue to
protect what we have if we want Hawaii to stay natural and beautiful to all
people. If people, predators, or other natural killing species doesn’t destroy Hawaii,
then the climate changes will. We need to stay alert to what happens in these
islands.

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.
