Holistic forest and wildlife management in Hawaii -- is it possible?

Abstract

Land management agencies face a highly introspective period. "New perspectives," "new forestry," and "holistic management" are all terms being used to "define" a different way of managing natural resources-a recognition that people are not satisfied with the status quo. As the population of Hawaii grows, the expectations of forest and wildlife resources are increasing. Along with this increase comes the management complexity generated by competing and often conflicting uses. What is holistic natural resource management? Is it possible in Hawaii? And how can we do it?
