  1. The cost per hectare (ha) per year, and the cost per 1000 IIT/SIT males produced is used as a basis for comparing previous estimates to that projected for Kauaʻi. The PPP is the purchasing power of the average US dollar in relation to a country or state. Here the PPP is used to control for the variation in international and state purchasing power, in relation to the Kauaʻi projection. The values used for the Kauaʻi projection are the averages of the Crater and Puʻu sites, areas that represent primary forest bird refugia
