Hawaiian wildlife is unique due to the islands' isolation in the Pacific Ocean. Many species, such as the Hawaiian monk seal and Hawaiian green sea turtle, are found nowhere else in the world. The islands are also home to a variety of native birds, including the Hawaiian 'i'iwi and nene goose, which have adapted to the diverse habitats of the region. The ecosystems in Hawaii range from lush rainforests to arid deserts, supporting a wide array of plant and animal life. Insects, like the Hawaiian happy-face spider, showcase the islands' biodiversity. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these species from threats like habitat loss and invasive species.
