Environmental experts say the deadly wildfires ravaging Hawaii illustrate the effects of human habitation as untended grasslands have flourished.

What happened in Maui, Hawaii today?

A massive wildfire is burning in Maui, prompting airlines to cancel flights out of concern for crews and passengers.

The raging fires killed at least six people and causing what is expected to be billions of dollars in damages. Climate change could prompt more of the same.

The mayor of Lahaina says the main focus of the authorities is to "save lives" as wildfires continue to sweep through the town, which was a popular shopping and dining area.

The 150-year-old local landmark dating back to the islands time as a kingdom has been scorched by the rapidly spreading flames—but may yet survive.

A mix of hot, dry conditions and fierce hurricane winds have contributed to the spread of the wildfires, but the exact cause remains undetermined.

The sprawling tree, located in Lahaina Banyan Court Park, is regarded as Maui’s oldest living banyan tree, according to the County of Maui.

Satellite imagery has confirmed that the historic tree took significant damage in the Maui wildfires.
