I asked Jack about this strange fungus I've been seeing in the forest. Jack says he's never seen anything like this until a few years ago, and that it's been killing the trees... uh oh. Ira has also pointed out to me that the Niue landfill has been completely overgrown by a thick layer of vines. Apparently that's from a plant someone threw out a few years ago - he had brought it from overseas, and when it grew out of control in his garden, he ripped it up and threw it in the dump. I feel like someone should be paying attention to these things... I'm surprised at how many developing environmental threats I've seen in the South Pacific.
