Cyanea kuhihewa: Rediscovering one of Hawai'i's rarest trees. Issue 2 (17th February 2020) - Rønsted, Nina
Abstract : Cyanea kuhihewa is a Hawaiian plant thought to be extinct but recently rediscovered. Oceanic island plants are uniquely adapted to their environment. Globally, many island species are now threatened needing extensive conservation management to survive. We highlight this global conservation challenge and provide an example from Hawai'i of how we may safeguard critically endangered species from extinction.
