Species Under Status Review in the Pacific Region. the Pacific Region of the U.S Species under status review in the Pacific Region. The Pacific Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is initiating 5-year reviews of 133 species protected under the federal Endangered Species Act. The species are found in Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.

All but seven of the species are or were endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaiian Islands; the exceptions are or were found on the islands of Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and/or Hawaii as well as Kauai. The 23 plant species and their habitats have been variously affected or are currently threatened by 1 or more of the following: Habitat degradation by wild, feral, or domestic animals (goats, pigs, mule deer, cattle, and red jungle fowl); competition for space, light, water, and nutrients by naturalized, introduced vegetation; erosion of substrate produced by weathering or human- or animal-caused disturbance; recreational and agricultural activities; habitat loss from fires; and predation by animals (goats and rats). Due to the small number of existing individuals and their very narrow distributions, these species and most of their populations are subject to an increased likelihood of extinction and/or reduced reproductive vigor from stochastic events. This proposal. if made final, would implement the Federal protection and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR recovery provisions provided by the Fish and Wildlife Service Act.

    Recovery Plan for tYOJ5llllt. i-bland Plants RECOVERY PLAN FOR MULTI-ISLAND PLANTS Published by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon Approved: Date: / / As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most ofour nationally owned public lands and natural resources. 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. Costs indicated for task implementation and/or time for achievement ofrecovery are only estimates and are subject to change.

The very dense wood is traditionally used for hōlua (sleds), ‘ō‘ō, and house poles. Native Plant Specialist, Anthony Ortiz became part of the MHC ‘Ohana in 2005 and has been volunteering and working in the garden at least once a week since then. He completed docent training in 2007. “Mānoa Heritage Center has always been a place that has given me an indescribable, powerful feeling, and the plants absolutely love it here.” The signifi cant changes to the garden over the years, he says “have been seeing the generations of plants throughout their life cycle. Many of the plants in the garden are keiki from mother plants that are no longer with us. The large halapepe and the Munroidendron (now Polyscias racemosa) near Kūka‘ō‘ō are grown from seed collected from 15-20 year old mother trees no longer here.” Of all the native plants in the garden, Anthony is particularly fond of the generations of Munroidendron, halapepe, and alahe'e he has watched fl ourish as keiki from the original mother plants. “Munroidendron is especially signifi cant, because its historical Hawaiian name and use have been lost. The information behind each of the plants (historical, Anthony and his family, Moani cultural, ecological, biological) can disappear just as easily without educating ourselves and Seraphina (and Kua the dog). and others.” Visit us at www.manoaheritagecenter.org 2856 O‘ahu Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96822 (808) 988-1287 [email protected] FALL 2019 NEWSLETTER Dry Stack Wall Ma Ka Hana Ka ‘Ike Workshop with Billy Fields Ua ho‘ono niho ‘ia.

  • Papahānaumokuākea United States of America
    PAPAHĀNAUMOKUĀKEA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Papahānaumokuākea is the name given to a vast and isolated linear cluster of small, low lying islands and atolls, with their surrounding ocean, extending some 1,931 km to the north west of the main Hawaiian Archipelago, located in the north-central Pacific Ocean. The property comprises the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM), which extends almost 2,000 km from southeast to northwest in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). COUNTRY United States of America NAME Papahānaumokuākea MIXED WORLD HERITAGE SITE 2010: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under cultural criteria (iii) and (vi) and natural criteria (viii), (ix) and (x). STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following Statement of Outstanding Universal Value at the time of inscription: Brief Synthesis The property includes a significant portion of the Hawai’i-Emperor hotspot trail, constituting an outstanding example of island hotspot progression. Much of the property is made up of pelagic and deepwater habitats, with notable features such as seamounts and submerged banks, extensive coral reefs, lagoons and 14 km2 emergent lands distributed between a number of eroded high islands, pinnacles, atoll islands and cays. With a total area of around 362,075 km2 it is one of the largest marine protected areas in the world. The geomorphological history and isolation of the archipelago have led to the development of an extraordinary range of habitats and features, including an extremely high degree of endemism. Largely as a result of its isolation, marine ecosystems and ecological processes are virtually intact, leading to exceptional biomass accumulated in large apex predators.
