Through its symposia, presentations, workshops, and poster sessions, the conference brings together the people actively involved in the protection and management of Hawai‘i’s ecosystems. This year’s conference aims to explore the most recent developments in Hawai‘i’s restoration efforts, as well as to present other significant advances in environmental conservation. Mahalo niu loa for your participation and support. The Hawai‘i Conservation Conference is organized by The Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance (HCA). This year, and for the first time, the conference is being held at the Hawai‘i Convention Center and presents a full two-day program with concurrent sessions. This year, the conference is dedicated to memory and work of Dr. Hampton L. Carson (1914-2004). Dr. Carson's work and contributions to conservation are reviewed in the program dedication. His studies in evolution and genetics have greatly contributed to our understanding of conservation genetics and small population dynamics, both being critical elements in the preservation and recovery of rare species. The Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance is a collaborative partnership between eleven federal, state and private organizations that are actively involved in natural resource conservation, management, research and education programs in Hawai‘i today. The HCA began as one of the goals of the Hawai‘i Conservation Biology Initiative in 1986. It was initially formalized as the Secretariat for Conservation Biology, and in 2002 the Secretariat was restructed and given its current title, the Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance. The purpose of this organization has remained the same: to strengthen links between conservation biology and conservation management and to provide annual meeting venues such as conferences, forums, workshops and international exchange programs. Over the nineteen years of its existence, the HCA has grown into a collaborative public-private partnership that strives to facilitate leadership in key conservation efforts in Hawai‘i. Its mission is to provide a unified leadership for the conservation and restoration community in Hawai‘i. The goals of the HCA are: (1) to provide concise information about conservation issues of statewide significance to community leaders; (2) to achieve effective management on 90% of Hawai‘i’s native ecosystems remaining in 2000; (3) to increase support for restoration of rare and endangered species; (4) to increase support for high priority, management-oriented, conservation research; (5) to strengthen the skills of conservation professionals; and (6) to increase public awareness and involvement in conserving and managing Hawai‘i’s ecosystems. 2 2005 Hawai‘i Conservation Conference Hawai‘i’s Restoration Efforts CONFERENCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Mahalo to the following persons and organizations: Conference Organizing Committee: Stephen E.

This includes fostering the wisest use ofour land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values ofour national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interests ofall our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island Territories under U.S. administration. DISCLAIMER PAGE Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance ofrecovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities.

OGUNDIPE1,*, Mark CHASE2 1Department of Botany and Microbiology, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, NIGERIA 2Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK Received: 19.07.2007 Accepted: 28.04.2009 Abstract: Comparative sequencing of the chloroplast matK coding and non-coding regions was used to examine relationship among the species of Amaranthaceae with emphasis on the West African species and other closely related family such as Chenopodiaceae, Portulacaceae, and Caryophyllaceae. Phylogenetic analysis of the matK sequences alone and in combination using maximum parsimony methods produced monophyletic lineage of Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae. Our results indicated that a polyphyletic Celosieae as sister to an Amaranthus-Chemissoa lineage. Subfamily Amaranthoideae is paraphyletic to the core Gomphrenoids. This study also shows that the polyphyly of Amarantheae is apparent and so is the polyphyly of Amaranthinae. Key Words: Amaranthaceae, matK, Phylogenetic analyses Introduction Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae are similar in Amaranthaceae, commonly called the Amaranth their morphology, anatomy, and phytochemistry (Brown, family, contains about 65 genera and 900 species.
