Kalaupapa (Molokai):
invasive species information

HEAR home > Molokai > Kalaupapa

Many pressing management issues affect Kalauapapa National Historical Park, located on a peninsula on the north coast of the Hawaiian island of Molokai. Among the most challenging of these issues--which include maintaining the lifestyle of Hansen's disease patients while maintaining historic structures, traditional sites, values, and natural features--is the problem posed by the presence of feral ungulates and other invasive species.

A number of resources are available to document and mitigate the effects of invasive species at Kalaupapa, including:

Online herbarium of Kalaupapa National Historical Park;
MoMISC: the Molokai Invasive Species Committee; and the
...Vital Signs Monitoring Plan...Kalaupapa National Historical Park Resource Overview.
This plan was produced by the Pacific Island Network of the Natural Resource Inventory and Monitoring Program of the National Park Service.
