The Hawaii Rare Plant Restoration Group (HRPRG) is composed of many public and private agencies. This group, which includes over 60 participants, meets every 3-6 months to share information about monitoring, collecting, ex situ propagation, reintroduction and restoration projects, and to plan new initiatives. The Center for Plant Conservation Program Office* and the Department of Forestry and Wildlife host and facilitate this work group, coordinate mailings, and furnish meeting minutes. (*It is our understanding that the CPC Hawaii Program Office is presently [03/2001] unstaffed; the contact information presented at this link is out-of-date.) This group is currently working on monitoring and collection guidelines and a field form tailored for the Hawaiian flora. The HRPRG group is also developing strategies to fund a major "genetic safety net" initiative that will capture and restore the botanical diversity of Hawaii's most endangered plants.
