Conservation

Wikstroemia villosa is currently classified as "critically endangered" (CR) by IUCN (since September 2016).[1]

It was once thought to have become extinct due to habitat loss, and has been classified as an extinct species on the IUCN Red List from 1998 to 2016.[1]

However, it was rediscovered in 2007 with the discovery of one plant on the windward side of Haleakalā in Haleakalā National Park on East Maui. As of 2010, there was one plant and one seedling at the discovery location. In addition, 3 plants have been outplanted at the Waikamoi Preserve. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has recently proposed to list this plant as an endangered species. In the IUCN's report in 2016, 49 mature individuals in 5 subpopulations were confirmed.[1]

gollark: But what does it output to? This will be gotten to in due time.
gollark: mpd uses a client-server model, so its "server" daemon bit does audio output, while it's managed by "clients" which manage the playlist and such.
gollark: Additionally, it handles transcoding into the 128kbps Opus output on demand.
gollark: This is done by "mpd", the "music player daemon", which maintains a queue, playlists, metadata library, and that sort of thing.
