Yeah, we have the same systems in place here in subtropical Aus; same species, same degraded and cleared ecosystems. Even looks slightly similar.
When I think Hawaii I imagine tropical ecosystems but I understand some islands are naturally drier. What was there prior to the degradation is of interest and as I work in regeneration/reclamation, of interest again as to how these systems can be recreated.
