Connect with our guest community partners from KUA: Kuaʻāina Ulu ʻAuamo an innovative, community-based initiative for protecting, restoring and caring for Hawaiʻi. KUA means back. Like a backbone that connects and supports. Kuaʻāina are the grassroots, rural peoples of Hawaiʻi nei. Ulu means to grow. ‘Auamo is the carrying stick held on multiple shoulders of laborers who shared the burden of carrying something of great weight forward. By taking up the ‘auamo, our kuaʻāina communities share the sacred responsibility, or kuleana, to better Hawaiʻi. Our unique native species, ecosystems and island way of life in Hawaiʻi are deeply interconnected, and are at the heart of what makes these islands “home.” Together, we are building a “backbone organization” that supports creative and collective community-based solutions to problems stemming from environmental degradation in Hawai’i.
