Overview
Kalaupapa National Historical Park protects habitats ranging from the ocean to the upland rain forest. The park’s boundary extends for a quarter mile offshore and includes 2,000 acres of ocean, two small islands and wet shorelines. All support a wealth of fish and wildlife resources. Nearly 20 federally-listed threatened and endangered species of plants and animals have been identified within the park. On the small islands of `Okala and Huelo are found loulu palms, the only native genus of palms, and the endemic pua`ala, which can be found only on the sea cliffs and off shore islands of Moloka`i from Kalaupapa east to Halawa.The Kalaupapa National Historical Park Vegetation Inventory Project delivers many geospatial and vegetation data products, including an in-depth project report discussing methods and results, which include descriptions to vegetation associations, field keys to vegetation associations, map classification, and map-class descriptions. The suite of products also includes a database of vegetation plots, and accuracy assessment (AA) sites; digital images of field sites; digital aerial imagery; digital maps; a contingency table listing AA results; and a geodatabase of vegetation, field sites (vegetation plots, and AA sites), aerial imagery, project boundary, and metadata.
