Article #1 Citation Sachs, Jessica, “Hawaii at the crossroads”, National Wildlife. Jack Jeffery, illustrations, Vol 54, No.5 August 2016, pp.24-29 Summary: Hannah Kihalani Springer looks out her window one clear morning, in her home in Hawaii, and sees a landscape once dominated by the Nominate fountain. Springer can still see the remnants of the landscape and forest out her window on clear mornings. Since its disappearance bothered her so much she decided to do something about it. In late 1993, Springer and her family joined other local people in a project to protect and enlarge their regions’ remaining forest. Drawn by their work, other institutes and conventions opened up. These included the Hawaii foresensestitute and the International union for conservation of Nature. …show more content…
The work that Springer and her family did was to try to enlarge the forest. Despite all the grim news, Springer remains optimistic. Her home on the slopes of Volcano Hualalai, opens in the cloud bank, and provides a glimpse of the forest on the distant hillside. Springer will always be looking for new ways to keep her organizations working. Critique: Sachs demonstrated how a group of individuals can have an impact on the environment in Hawaii and other places as well as other places. She also raised awareness on what happened while Hawaii was on the crossroads. I give this article ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars because I liked the way she explained everything that happened and how she wrote it. I think that someone who likes nature would enjoy this article because it was about a nature crisis that happened in Hawaii. All in all it’s a great article. Article #2
