Our tropical climate is ideal for fungi (such as the ROD), and the ohia have very limited genetic variability (eg, a "monoculture"), so it's highly probable that there simply won't be any ohia within 5-10 years.
Without ohia, we have no watershed.
Yes, it would be great to save the ohia from extinction, but it's probably already too late; we need to hedge our bets with a reforestation effort.
