Niihau is a Hawaiian island designated by the Imperial Japanese Navy as a place for damaged aircraft to land because they believed it to be uninhabited. However, the native Niihauans–and the Robinson family lived on the island which was closed to outsiders. [5] Pilot Shigenori Nishikaichi crash-landed there and was cared for by the residents.
Robinson has been credited for keeping numerous Hawaiian plants from becoming extinct, [5] including Cyanea pinnatifida, which is considered extinct in the wild. I've spent eighteen years and more than $250,000 doing this work, and I estimate it would cost the government or environmental groups $10–20 million to create a comparable reserve.
