The Hawai‘i Strategy for Plant Conservation (Strategy), completed in 2014, reflects decades of informal collaboration and years of intentional planning among plant conservation stakeholders in Hawai‘i. The Strategy is aligned with the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation with a framework of 5 Objectives and 20 metric-based Targets to conserve plants identified as Species of Conservation Importance. The Strategy called for the establishment of the Laukahi Network, to formalize coordination and measure our collective progress towards the Targets. Laukahi – translated as “single leaf” in the Hawaiian language – unites our work to perpetuate native plants and island ecosystems. The urgency of this work has never been greater in the face of climate change and threats to native habitat, and working together will advance plant conservation faster than individual efforts alone.
