​The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB) is an invasive pest that poses a serious threat to Hawaii's coconut trees, other palms, and agricultural crops. This beetle burrows into the crowns of palms, damaging their growing tissues, which weakens and often kills the trees. Its rapid spread could devastate Hawaii's landscapes, impacting local farming, agriculture, and cultural resources. Coconut and palm trees are vital for soil stability, biodiversity, and traditional Hawaiian practices. Protecting these trees is essential for preserving Hawaii's natural beauty, supporting agriculture, and maintaining the island’s ecological and cultural sustainability.
