Collecting Seeds to Save Hawai‘i’s Native Forest

Ohia Seed Collection DataViz

 

 

 

 

 

Data-driven graphics in collaboration with writer Kim Rogers about how the public and scientists are working together to save Hawai‘i’s most important tree,  the ʻŌhiʻa, by collecting seeds. One tree at a time!

The effort is in response to the Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD) crisis, a fungal disease destroying thousands of acres of Hawai‘i’s most abundant native forests. We need everyone to help bring awareness and support for our island friends.

Published on Nightingale, the journal of The Data Visualization Society. See the full story here!

In this project, I researched, developed story structure, created graphics, and wrote graphic notes. I believe these visuals are critical tools to serve a larger and urgent undertaking, which is why I made all assets accessible resources. They have since been used for various outreach initiatives, publications, and a recently published paper.
