Hawaiian silversword


C'est l'une des plantes endémiques les plus spectaculaires de l'archipel d'Hawaï. 

Cette espèce a survécu à de nombreuses menaces au cours du dernier siècle, mais le réchauffement climatique s'avère être un plus grand défi encore.

On parle fréquemment des effets du changement climatique à Hawaï. L'élévation du niveau de la mer menace les écosystèmes côtiers. Mais les rares espèces végétales et animales vivant dans l'écosystème alpin sont extrêmement vulnérables. Elles sont uniquement adaptées aux climats rudes, et les changements soudains dans leur environnement les fragilisent d'autant plus.

Dans une île isolée comme celle-ci et à cet étage, elles n'ont guère la possibilité de déménager dans un environnement plus favorable.


Silversword is one of Hawaii most spectacular native plants, it grows nowhere else on Earth. 

“This much-loved species has survived many threats over the last century—but a warming climate may prove its toughest challenge yet.

The effects of climate change are frequently talked about in the news in Hawai‘i. Rising sea levels threaten coastal ecosystems and even zoning regulations for coastal buildings. But the rare plants and animals found in the alpine ecosystem in Hawai‘i are extremely vulnerable. These species are uniquely adapted to harsh climates, and sudden changes in their environment will leave them vulnerable.

for species in an alpine ecosystem on an isolated island in the Pacific, there’s only so far they can go.”

  2. Mauna Kea silversword (A. sandwicense subsp. sandwicense), mountain Mauna Kea on the Big Island, above 2,600 meters, critically endangered species. There may be only 40 wild individuals left.


“The Hawaiian silversword flowers only once in its life of 20 to 90 years.”
