Cuts to U.S. Geological Survey Division to Affect Hawaii Research
The U.S. Geological Survey Ecosystems Mission Area (EMA) has been working on conservation science in Hawaii for decades, addressing issues such as drought, invasive species, and wildlife diseases.
EMA, the biological research arm of the U.S. Interior Department, provides science informing the sustainable management of ecological resources, including examining coastal hazards and finding strategies for saving native birds and restoring forests after wildfires.
In Hawaii, EMA's work includes protecting endangered species like the iiwi, or scarlet honeycreeper, which is listed as endangered on Oahu, Molokai, and Lanai.
The iiwi is listed as endangered on Oahu, Molokai and Lanai.
