Plant Extinction Prevention Program
The Plant Extinction Prevention (PEP) Program’s mission is to protect Hawaiʻi’s rarest native plants from extinction. It is committed to reversing the trend toward extinction by managing wild plants, collecting seeds, and establishing new populations.
PEP focuses on species with fewer than 50 plants remaining in the wild and collaborates with conservation partners who have a shared interest in preserving Hawaiʻi’s unique biodiversity.
