(FILMED July 2008) - Hawaii residents meet at the Honokaa county gym in order to defend the fruitful Waiawi, also known as Strawberry Guava, from a proposed biological control.
The government - along with other agencies - has considered introducing a Brazilian insect into the environment in the hopes that it would stall the vigorous growth of the invasive plant.
Locals, who have learned to live harmoniously with Waiawi and see it as a useful food source, oppose the measure.
