Zone:
Dryland Forest
‘Ilie‘e,‘Ohe Makai drop their leaves during drought;
Halapepe changes its respiration system during drought;
Koali‘awa vines look dead, but as soon as the rain comes they come to life.
People see the forest as degraded and weak, but we see it as resilient! We need to remember the importance of learning from plants, not being Homo sapien‐centric!
