Pacific News Center Report
The coconut rhinoceros is another invasive, along with the brown tree snake, that the community must worry about.
The coconut tree, being the tree of life to all Pacific cultures, is currently facing an issue with an unwanted visitor: the coconut rhinoceros beetle.
The PNC report states that Asan park, an area with its famous rows of coconut trees facing the ocean, will have to face cutting down of coconut trees that are infected with beetles.
Coconut trees in Tumon were already cut down due to the unwanted pest.
Håfa Adai! I Hinaonao Mo'na (The Journey Forward) was created to bring awareness on what Guam's natural resources have to offer, what challenges they face, and what local and national communities can do to help sustain and protect these resources. The blog was also created to perpetuate Pacific languages with an emphasis on Chamorro language. Dångkolo na Si Yu'os Ma'åse put i finatton-miyu (Thank you for visiting)
