Invasive species are a threat to the native flora and fauna of Hawaiʻi. Invasive species threaten native species by spreading diseases and utilizing important resources that native species need to survive. The goal of the Hawaiʻi Biosecurity plan is to limit the amount of invasive species that enter Hawaiʻi, control already established invasive species, detect and respond to new invasions, and educate the community about invasive species.
I consider this sustainable development goal as one of the most important. Some species that reside in Hawaiʻi can be found nowhere else on earth. I feel it is important to protect these species so that they do not go extinct, like many that already have.
