You are a landowner—your land-management
decisions directly influence the value of your property as
well as the overall
condition of Hawaii’s ecosystems. This is an exciting
position to be in, as you can contribute to the restoration
of Hawaii’s environment, as well as benefit from
the economical rewards associated with positive and responsible
land management actions.
Pono Pacific provides cost-effective environmental restoration
services to protect and improve native ecosystems on your
property. We are an experienced, knowledgeable,
and reliable
company. Pono Pacific can be of service to you whether you
need assistance in developing a land management plan or
if you need the
skilled labor to accomplish your goals. We work with you
every step of the way to ensure that you are satisfied
and aware
of the work on your land. Caring for your land now, means
saving money in the years to come.
Proper environmental management including environmental
restoration increases the value of property both from an
economical and
environmental point-of-view.
The health of ecosystems directly
influences the productivity of a piece of land. Healthy ecosystems are
more efficient
at absorbing nutrients and water than disrupted ecosystems.
Disrupted
ecosystems often lead to several costly remedial actions.
In
addition, the real-estate value of property often decreases
when ecosystems have been disrupted, especially when ecosystems
have been disrupted on account of invasive species. Negligent
land management practices can lead to problems both for
you and for neighbors. Long term remediation costs can
far outweigh
the costs of taking proper care of your land today.
Nowhere else is our dependence on our natural resources
more evident than on an island. We rely on our natural
resources
to provide for our basic needs, for recreation, and,
whether directly or indirectly, for our livelihoods.
Hawaii’s
371 threatened and endangered species also rely on the health
of ecosystems for their survival. Through your actions and
decisions as a landowner, you can help contribute to the
protection, preservation, and restoration of Hawaii.
The government offers a variety of incentive
programs to assist landowners who voluntarily conserve wildlife
and habitat on their property. Hawaii’s Department
of Land and Natural Resources, the US Department of Agriculture,
and the US Fish and Wildlife Service provide information
on State
and Federal incentive programs on their websites. In
addition,
legislation such as the Endangered Species Safe Harbor
act further encourages landowners to conserve native
ecosystems
by securing a number of landowner rights.
