  • Endemic koa trees (Acacia koa) at night in Kokee State Park, Kauai, Hawaii. The tree with sword shaped leaves in the bottom-left is the endemic hala pepe (Pleomele aurea). The unusual branching on the koa tree is, according to Nicolai Barca, Field Technician for The Nature Conservancy on Kauai, sucker growth "in response to a light gap."

  • An endemic ohia lehua tree (Metrosideros polymorpha) grows on the steep, eroding slopes of reddish volcanic rock below the rim of Waimea Canyon, Waimea Canyon State Park, Kauai, Hawaii. According to Nicolai Barca, Field Technician for The Nature Conservancy on Kauai, "accelerated erosion was sparked by over browsing by goats. Now sun, heat, wind, water, the lack of water, continued grazing, and smothering by soil are factors leading to desertification."

  • Naturalized kukui (Candlenut tree, Aleurites moluccana) grow between the fluted cliffs of the Na Pali Coast on Kauai, Hawaii. According to Katie Cassel, famed "weed warrior" and director of the Kokee Resource Conservation Program, "they seeded it out of B-51 bombers in the re-forestation projects in the 60's, so it filled valleys to the top where the seeds find the first soil and level ground to grow; otherwise it wouldn't have gotten way up there because the seeds are too big to be carried by birds."
