Hawaii Early Detection Network Update: Kauai Invasive Species Early Detection Field Guide

Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN), the Hawaii Invasive Species Council, and the Kauai Invasive Species Committee have created A Field Guide to the Early Detection of Invasive Plants and Animals on Kaua’i, Hawai’i. Nine hundred copies of the full-color field guide will be distributed to schools, libraries, and participants in upcoming Hawaii Early Detection Network workshops on Kauai.  The field guides highlight 23 plants and animals that are emerging threats specific to the island of Kaua’i. The target audiences for the field guides are island residents, land managers, conservation workers, policymakers, and anyone who desires to “malama the aina” (Hawaiian for “care for that which sustains”).   Preview, share, or download the field guide.
