Never give up if the trees are still standing....that's the lesson. This beautiful old-growth Ohia forest on the Big Island of Hawaii was saved because two people cared deeply and never gave up.They hired a lawyer who took their case to court. Luckily the judge saw through 'business as usual' at the county planning office and ruled that the forest should be saved. You can read about it here:

This is one of the forests I have been educating people about, and I am so very happy that it will remain standing.
