National Tropical Botanical Garden Annual Report 2016

NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 1 Message from Thomas D. Hewitt

Aloha from the headquarters of the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG), perched on a cliff overlooking the breathtaking Lawa‘i Valley on the island of Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i.

I often ask people what energizes, excites and consequently galvanizes them to action benefiting tropical plant conservation. The letters EEG also form an acronym for a test of brain activity. I can speak from personal experience that my brain activity reaches a peak when I visit the magnificent gardens of the National Tropical Botanical Garden.

I speak of Gardens in the plural because we have three gardens on Kaua‘i, one on Maui, and one in Miami, our beautiful garden in Florida, that was once the home of renowned plant explorer Dr. David Fairchild. Each of these amazing gardens is unique and special and is much more than a collection of ornamental plants. Our gardens conserve our living collection of endangered tropical plant species. It is where we grow endangered tropical plants to re-establish populations in the wild. It is where scientists from around the world come to study tropical plant diversity and this is where our visitors learn about the fundamental importance of plants, tropical plant conservation, and plant research that may reveal the next cancer drug or, as in the case of breadfruit, help alleviate hunger.

I hope that you will visit us on Kaua‘i, Maui, and in Florida, where you will experience the sensory bonanza that makes my brain activity soar. Thank you for your support of tropical plant conservation and the National Tropical Botanical Garden.

Mahalo nui loa,

Tom Hewitt, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

2 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 3 IUCN World Conservation Congress

In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) held its quadrennial World Conservation Congress (WCC) in Hawai‘i. It was the first time in its 68-year history that the WCC was hosted by the United States. What began in 2008 as a dream for NTBG Director and CEO Chipper Wichman and several partners, evolved from the realm of impossible to being a long shot and then finally inevitable.

Throughout this incredible journey, Chipper played a central role in Hawai‘i’s unlikely bid to host the world’s largest conservation gathering. As co-chair of Hawai‘i’s WCC Steering Committee, Chipper strived to maximize this once-in-a-lifetime chance for NTBG, Hawai‘i, and the United States to engage with the conservation community on a global scale.

The 2016 World Conservation Congress, Planet at a Crossroads, opened on September 1 in Honolulu with much excitement and anticipation following President Barack Obama’s announcement that he was quadrupling the size of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, making it the largest marine protected area in the world.

4 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 5 The opening ceremony was attended by thousands of delegates from scores of countries around the world, along with foreign dignitaries and heads of state, as well as U.S. federal agencies like the National Park Service. Also in attendance were U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel, Hawai‘i’s U.S. Senator Brian Schatz, Hawai’i Governor David Ige, and thousands of scientists, academics, indigenous and cultural practitioners, and conservation leaders.

What followed was the most diverse and best attended Congress in IUCN history, bringing together more than 10,000 delegates representing governments, civil society, indigenous communities, spiritual leaders, the private sector, and academia for ten days of symposia, meetings, workshops, discussions, and exchanges.

An important component of Hawai‘i’s Congress was the recognition, celebration, and discussion of the vital role of indigenous knowledge in conservation. That recognition of the value of biocultural conservation was evident from the prominent role of Hawaiian culture throughout the Congress, meetings and discussions centered on indigenous perspectives, motions passed in support of indigenous people and sacred places, and the large number of indigenous delegates from around the world.

Among the many globally transformative outcomes of the 2016 WCC was a document called “The Hawai‘i Commitments,” which was intended to identify challenges and solutions related to core conservation issues including climate change, habitat loss, wildlife trafficking, and environmental degradation and pollution.

The Commitments came on the heels of the Paris Agreement, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and other international charters adopted in a spirit of cooperation and partnership, with the goal of advancing conservation and protecting life on the planet.

8 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 9 Science and Conservation

Science and Conservation are at the heart of the NTBG’s mission “to enrich life through discovery, scientific research, conservation, and education…” Among the Science and Conservation (Sci-Con) Department’s most vital roles is the discovery of new plant species and publication of these discoveries. In 2016 Sci-Con staff published descriptions for two new Hawaiian plant taxa discovered by our field staff: Coprosma kawaikiniensis, a rare tree in the Rubiaceae (coffee family) endemic to the island of Kaua‘i, and Melicope oppenheimeri, a rare tree in the Rutaceae (citrus family) endemic to East Maui. Both species are localized and listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

12 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 13 Living Collections and Horticulture

As a botanical garden, NTBG’s work includes the development, curation, and management of our living collections. A central component of this is the ability to record, inventory, and monitor the number, type, and location of all the plants and plant material we grow. When combined, in 2016 we produced 10,995 plantouts (plants grown by NTBG and planted outside our main nursery) for our five garden locations, preserves, and restorations. This was nearly 4,000 more plants than in 2015.

14 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 15 NTBG’s nursery inventory surpassed 1.3 million plants and started seeds by the end of 2016.

In 2016, NTBG produced 18,652 plants to be used by conservation partners in state programs, research, education, and other restoration projects, or for outreach efforts like the Arbor Day plant giveaway. Of those, nearly 2,500 of them were federally listed as threatened or endangered. In total, NTBG’s nursery inventory surpassed 1.3 million plants and started seeds by the end of 2016.

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the accuracy and integrity of our plant records and related documentation, we undertook several large projects that reviewed and updated our living collections records.

Among the most significant of our Living Collections efforts was a Trustee-supported palm curation project undertaken by NTBG staff and the renowned palm authority Dr. John Dransfield. Working together, they verified 277 palm species representing 2,346 trees in the living collections. ID tags were inspected, missing tags were replaced, and vital plant records (some 30 years old) were updated. Like the palm project, NTBG’s cycad curation project also made progress with new and updated plant ID tags and records expanded.

With conservation at the core of our mission, collecting and growing rare and endangered plants – especially native species – is vital for our living collections. In 2016 we made important progress on collecting and growing Polyscias bisattenuata and Alectryon macrococcus ssp. micrococcus. Both trees are endemic to Kaua‘i and wild populations are in danger of collapsing. In the case of Alectryon, air layers were set on sterile trees.

Polyscias work involved bagging immature fruit in the wild in order to avoid rat predation. Field staff made multiple visits to the roughly 40 known remaining wild trees to gather fruit that has produced over 6,000 seedlings. NTBG will establish ex situ collections in our four Hawai‘i gardens while also collaborating with private land owners. We are also cooperating with state agencies to establish in situ (“in the wild”) populations.

16 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 17 Breadfruit Institute

Established in 2003, the Breadfruit Institute promotes the conservation, study, and use of breadfruit for food and reforestation. The Institute is the global leader in efforts to conserve and use breadfruit diversity to support regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, food security, and income generation for smallholder farmers in the tropics. The Institute manages the world’s largest repository of breadfruit diversity with more than 150 varieties, including some that are rare or extinct in their homelands.

In 2016, Breadfruit Institute staff made significant advances in managing and curating the 350 breadfruit trees at Kahanu Garden and McBryde Garden. Dan Rudoy, the institute’s Collection Manager, a specialist in organic, holistic, and regenerative farming practices, began using regenerative practices intended to substantially enhance the health and vitality of the collection. On Kaua‘i, the McBryde Garden Breadfruit Research Orchard underwent a detailed assessment followed by the implementation of management strategies and measures to promote the health and stability of the trees.

20 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NTBG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 21 Education

For more than half a century, education has been at the forefront of NTBG’s work and is central to our mission. Making use of our five gardens, preserves, and facilities like our Conservation and Horticulture Center and Botanical Research Center, as well as our staff and partners, NTBG has the capacity to instruct, inform, and inspire a broad range of people, from young children to world class researchers.

One of our education goals is for every student in each of our local communities on Kauai to visit NTBG. And while our formal education programs served more than 2,500 K-12 students in 2016, we also provided plant- and science-based education to students at every level and age, from primary and secondary to undergraduate through postgraduate, as well as interns, medical professionals, journalists, artists, garden enthusiasts, science teachers and educators of all type, and members of the general public.

Located in the Lawa‘i Valley below NTBG Headquarters, our flagship McBryde Garden abuts the adjacent Allerton Garden. These exceptional gardens offer varied topography, microclimates, and stunning view planes with extensive living collections of tropical exotic plants, Polynesian introduced plants, and one of the richest, most diverse assemblages of native Hawaiian plants in existence. Daily public tours access both gardens by way of a breathtaking coastal roadway into the valley from the Bill and Jean Lane South Shore Visitor Center.
