Why are axis deer such a problem on Maui?

• No natural predators
• Year-round breeding (each female can birth one fawn annually)
• Ability to adapt to harsh conditions

The result: an ecological imbalance that’s rapidly worsening.

Rainbow eucalyptus can grow more than 3 feet a year, reaching up to 250 feet tall. https://mauiguide.com/road-to-hana/

On Maui, they thrive in the wet, warm climate of East Maui, where the Road to Hana’s rainfall keeps their colors vivid. #rainboweucalyptus #roadtohana
