>> *More on Laukahi and Matthew Keir's role as coordinator:*
>>
>> *Hawai‘i is home to some of the most unique and diverse ecosystems on the
>> planet. Yet these ecosystems are also among the most threatened of any in
>> the world, with hundreds of native plant species in danger of extinction.
>> Native plants and their relationships with other organisms have much to
>> teach us about how life has been and should be balanced in our islands.
>> Flourishing habitats for native plants protect our watersheds, which
>> provide us with safe drinking water, prevent runoff from polluting our
>> oceans, minimize dangerous flooding, and buffer us against harmful effects
>> of climate change. Laukahi, the Hawai‘i Plant Conservation Network, is a
>> self-directed, voluntary alliance of agencies, organizations and
>> individuals aiming to protect Hawaiʻi’s rare and threatened native plant
>> species through coordinated conservation efforts. Laukahi was created as a
>> response to the urgent and growing need to address the vulnerability of
>> native plant populations so vital to our health, to Hawaiian culture, and
>> to the balance of life on these islands. Laukahi is administered by an
>> Advisory Council, and staffed by Matthew Keir as the Network Coordinator.
>> After twenty years working for an agency managing rare plants on O‘ahu,
>> Matthew joined Laukahi to work on strengthen*
>> *ing **the partnerships among local conservation programs and raise
>> awareness of how they contribute to global biodiversity conservation. The
>> Hawai‘i Strategy for Plant Conservation describes how dozens of local
>> programs, botanical gardens, seed banks, watershed partnerships work
>> towards common goals and guides Laukahi’s projects. We know that working
>> together will advance plant conservation faster that individual efforts can
>> alone.*
