Abstract/Summary:
Here at a region called Kaupulehu, Cabin and fellow biologists and conservationists have begun an important demonstration project for reclaiming Hawaii’s degraded dry forests. The demonstration site is protected from ungulates by a fence. In just a few years of research at the site, the biologists have begun to assemble much-needed information about how degraded forests re- spond to fencing out the enemy and about what other steps may be necessary for restoring the forests.
