Hawaii’s ecosystems are not adapted to fire.
Wildfires:
- Threaten homes and lives
- Destroy native Hawaiian plants and forests
- Deprive native animals of their habitat
- Cause soil erosion that impacts air quality, human health, and pollutes run off that affects the ocean and reefs
- Increase the spread of invasive plants that are highly flammable
