<DIV>Dear Forest Pest Mavens,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have posted a new blog at <A href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A>
... this one reports on and laments the rapid devastation of another of
Hawai`i's beautiful forest birds, the i`iwi ... and notes the many invasive
species threatening its survival. Among these are Rapid Ohia Death
(Ceratocystis fungus) and ohia wilt </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please share with your colleagues, especially any who share my love for
Hawai`i's wonderful `ohi`a-tree fern forests and the birds that (used to)
inhabit them!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Faith</DIV>
