Hawaiian Forest
The Hawaiian Forest is a unique ecosystem found in the Hawaiian Islands, characterized by diverse plant and animal species. It includes lush rainforests, dry forests, and montane forests, each supporting various native species. Notable plants include koa trees and ōhiʻa lehua, which are essential to the forest's health and biodiversity.
These forests are home to many endemic species, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. Birds like the hāloa and the ʻiʻiwi thrive in this environment. However, Hawaiian Forests face threats from invasive species, habitat loss, and climate change, making conservation efforts crucial.
