Sunny mahalo for showing Manoa.  I have not been there since 1996, aue :( I lived in the valley when I attended UH and used to bike all around it walk the botanical gardens and behind them to the waterfalls <3 One day I will kipa again.

It's good to see this kind of work taking place. Invasive plants will take over a place until the biodiversity of the earth has been destroyed. The smaller the gene pool is for our planet, the more likely it will become a dead place. It's too bad some people are so limited in their thinking they can't understand this. We do native prairie restoration here.

@tcbink Hawaii is an isolated refuge of sorts if it was not for human intervention. Ecosystems like this harbor unique life which are sensitive to invasive organisims. We are talking about extinction not evolution. Btw nice acoustic rendition of kuu home o kahaluu!

How do you know your not hindering evolution by trying to stop the other plants from taking over the area? Every thing that happens effects evolution and I believe you are stopping what might be a very important part of the evolution of earth. Just like global warming. The ice caps have been melting since the day they started to melt and will continue until the next step of evolution takes place. Stop messing with Mother Nature.

@tcbink

You don't seem to realize it is humans who caused the changes and now people are working to make amends for that.

Like there were originally no mosquitoes in Hawaii. Humans caused that and brought the other invasive species.

We already messed with nature as you say. Giving an ecosystem a chance against the things humans have done to ruin it is a good thing.

@kekikamiller And that would be part of evolution. A bird eats a seed and flies away sowing it miles away. Plants adapt ways for animals to eat them and spread their seeds. The same with bugs laying eggs and anything else that has adapted ways to migrate.

@tcbink,

I suppose you also think we should have no laws and let the strongest, meanest, and most unscrupulous jerks rape, pillage and rule everyone else. Fortunately the majority of humans don't think like you.

@kekikamiller Are you really that stupid?
