Hawaii ecoregions
Major cultural and natural resources exist in the seven ecoregions of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
Engaging the public to help preserve the unique natural and cultural resources of two National Parks in Hawaii
Following up from an August visit and series of on-site workshops run by IAN staff Tim Carruthers and Jane Hawkey, three science communication products have just been published for two Hawaiian parks in the National Park Service's (NPS) Pacific Island Network. For Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) on the big island of Hawai'i, two flyers target resident or off-island audiences in an effort to enlist their help in preventing the spread of invasive plants and animals, especially in areas yet to be overrun by these alien species. For Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KALA) on the island of Molokai, a poster designed for resident and off-island audiences features both the cultural and natural history of this remote peninsula, and highlights the unique native plants and animals found here that are currently challenged by invasive species, overfishing, pollution, and climate change.

The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
