#Maui environmental issues

Maui’s axis deer population is booming, raising concerns for forests, watersheds and farms. At a recent Invasive Species Meeting, Jeff Bagshaw of the Hawai‘i Division of Forestry and Wildlife urged hunters to prioritize culling to keep the herd in check.

Irene Bowie, Maui Tomorrow’s executive director, likes to “find common ground.” But when all else fails this environmental activist is not afraid to litigate, as in the Super Ferry case.
