Information About

Hawaii Tropical Moist Forests




From lush rain forests to Bogs , a surprisingly diverse mixture of habitats makes up the Hawaii Tropical Moist Forests ecoregion. This diversity includes one of the world's wettest rain forest on Mount Waialeale , which averages 450 inches (11,400 mm) of rainfall per year. While we often associate Hawaii with beautiful rain forests, which occur on the mountaintops of the smaller islands and on the windward sides of the larger islands, the islands' moist forest regions are also home to wet Shrublands and bogs in swampy areas.
