The competition, launched by the U.S. Department of the Interior in partnership with Conservation X Labs in Washington, D.C., invites the global science, entrepreneurship and technology communities to submit ideas for tackling rapid ohia death, the fungal pathogens decimating thousands of native  ʻŌhiʻa lehua trees in Hawaiʻi.

The challenge winners receive $75,000 and the chance to make a difference in tackling one of the most devastating plant diseases introduced to Hawaii. More details, including deadlines for projects, will be revealed in coming weeks. If you’re interested sign up at SavetheOhia.org.
