So... I hear that there's maybe kinda sorta something happening in Hawaii right now? Something about a Mauna Loa eruption?
This video isn't about that, but the same geology that is causing Mauna Loa to erupt right now is the same geology that has given rise to so many endemic and endangered species across the Hawaiian Islands.
In fact, Halaekala National Park has more endangered species within its borders than any other National Park in the United States. And Hawaii itself is home to 30% of all endangered species in America.
In this video, we're diving into why that is and what's being done to help these special plants and animals. Enjoy!
