HOW YOU CAN HELP

There are many ways how you can help to keep the Hawaiian Palm alive.

1. You can buy a Hawaiian Palm

The first part is the easier way. You can order Hawaiian Palms from me between March and June every year. That is the time when I will be able to provide you with Hawaiian Palms. For that purpose, I am working throughout the year in my free time with professional gardening companies to identify sourcing opportunities and to learn more everything about hawaiian palms from production to survival process. Depending on the size of the Hawaiian palm, the price ranges between 15 EUR and 30 EUR plus shipping costs. I will be able to provide to you more detailed offers in Spring 2011.  

2. You can grow a Hawaiian Palm

The second part is quite harder because many have difficulties to grow the Hawaiian Palm in a way that it survives. It is not a very difficult plant to grow, but over the long term a plant, that is very difficult to keep alive. That is the most difficult part if you decide to help us to save the Hawaiian Palm, but also the most interesting, because this is where you come in. You can experiment with your ideas, and share your ideas on this platform. You can discuss the ideas and experiences you made here and you can take this here as a knowledge base for your experiments to keep the hawaiian palm alive.

3. You can promote the Hawaiian Palm Network  

Build relationships and form teams with others on platforms like this to share experiences, ideas and knowledge about the production and survival process of Hawaiian Palms. Promote the Hawaiian Palm Network in your local community. Develop local awareness campaigns for the Hawaiian Palm and share your experiences and knowledge with us via this platform.

4. You can join the international effort to keep the Hawaiian Palm alive

The Species Survival Commissions (SSC) and Networks like IUCN consisting of scientists, enthusiasts and conservationists who are all working to take actions to reduce the loss of species. Plants like the Hawaiian Palm are an important part of that work because the loss of plants reduces biological diversity and perhaps loss of valuable properties (both known and undiscovered) that can be used for medicinal, agricultural or industrial purposes. By buying the Hawaiian Palm, you are directly supporting IUCN and the SSC Hawaiian Plant Specialist Group and you are helping to prevent the extinction of the Hawaiian Palm and many other species. Please feel free to join the effort in our effort.
