Conservation biology in Hawai‘i is all about
threat - managing alien species in a native ecosystem. The reason
alien species are so threatening is because Hawai‘i's environment
is very unique. The ‘āina is our older sibling and we
have the responsibility to mālama it. If we are good stewards,
the land will in turn honor its kua‘ana relationship and care
for us. We also know that everything on the land has its partner
in or near the sea, and this same care and concern for our ‘āina
must be extened to our oceans. As Hawaiians, we cannot ignore this
ancient connection.
