7 positive things that happened for the environment in Hawaii in 2022
In February, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released two draft recovery plans to save endangered and threatened species in Hawaii.
The first plan is aimed at helping 44 endangered species that live in Maui Nui. The second draft plan is aimed at saving 50 endangered and threatened species across Hawaii.
In order to help the listed species, the plans call for distributing multiple, self-sustaining populations in their respective habitats on each island. The habitats they live in should be well managed and free from hooved animals, diseases, nonnative plants, fires and other problems.
