Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

Looks like this Ohia wilt around puna is only found here and nowhere else in the world. It may drastically change our bird population, the picking of the flowers for traditional holidays, even our water aquifers here on the island may be affected in the near future.

So sad to watch this Ohia wilt take a strangle hold on Puna's rain forests over the years. The extra slow response from our Mayor,dlnr,Forrest division,and the rest of our pro-Geothermal state really compounded this devastating situation, jmo.
