Threatened And Endangered Species in Hawaii
- "The vast majority of native Hawaiian plants and animals are found nowhere else on Earth. Many, unfortunately, are in grave danger of extinction. While Hawaii represents less than 1 percent of the U.S. total land mass, it has 363 (over 30%) of the 1,104 species federally listed as threatened or endangered." (Excerpt from Atlas of Hawaii, Edited by Sonia P. Juvik and James O. Juvik, University of Hawaii Press, 1998, pg. 150)
