Hawaii: Strangers in Paradise

A land of precious and threatened life forms in the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii: Strangers in Paradise explores the unique evolution of life in Hawaii, an isolated chain of islands that remained untouched for millions of years. Hawaii's isolation was protected by 2,000 miles of ocean until human contact began, marking a significant change in its ecological balance. Since the arrival of man 2,000 years ago, 70% of all native species have disappeared. Hawaii's plants and animals must now rely on man's intervention in order to survive.
