Did you see this report at Drudge concerning extinction rates in Hawaii?

apnews.myway.com

Extinction rates in relatively small islands, where the at-risk specie cannot move elsewhere to escape whatever it is that threatens it, and can't evolve quickly enough to survive, have to logically be higher than anywhere else.

While this is probably a decent explanation for the bad eco-news, it sadly still doesn't do much to get the extinction rate down.

I last went to Kauai in early 90s; going again this Summer. I hope I find it like I left it.
