U116: Block1:part1:SAQ1.1 Identifying the main point of a passage

Visible to anyone in the world

Fortey 2005 p39, Richard Fortey

The main point of the passage was to illustrating that, whilst the view from the walking trail just outside Honolulu looked like paradise, the fauna around the trail were imported plants or ‘alien invaders’ to the natural area of Hawaii. Just as humans colonated the island, they brought with them plants - that thrived.  What is not mentioned in the passage is that animals also came with the settlers.  I am going to assume that is the case also.
