アメリカ内務省さんのインスタグラム写真 - (アメリカ内務省Instagram)「A glimpse of paradise, the ‘Ōhiʻa (pronounced oh-hee-yah), blooms along a streambank. This small flowering tree is both culturally and ecologically vital to #Hawaii. Once #lava cools — before any other life can return — the ‘Ōhiʻa tree grows. It is the lone voyager. It’s bright red #blossoms and green leaves can be seen dotting barren lava fields across the big island of Hawaii. Without the ʻŌhiʻa to help bring life back to the land, the cycle of creation after a lava flow would be disrupted. Unfortunately, ʻŌhiʻa are facing an invasive fungal pathogen and we need help identifying it and protecting this important tree. Learn how you can help spread the word with the link in our bio.
