Protect Maui's Rarest Native Forest on the Map!
We, the undersigned residents and visitors ask that the Maui Island Plan update include support for one of South Maui's most unique ecosystems:
the 130 native Wili wili dryland forest on the southern lava flows of the Wailea 670 project district. Please show this area, proposed as a botanical and cultural preserve by conditions of zoning, and supported by State and Federal Fish and Wildlife scientists, as "Sensitive Lands" on the South Maui Directed Growth Map. Mahalo.

Why is this important?
A condition of development was to protect this dryland forest in Makena. Your voice is needed to help the General Plan committee remember to put it into the Maui Island Plan.
