poem here too?
This site hopes to honor the elements that sustain us daily, and those who have chosen caring for place, mālama ‘āina, as daily living. Kuleana. For us it is “choice, no choice”. There is no separation of art, observation, science, education, and restoration. They are woven into the creative spirit and gift of daily living. Yet we try to fit this thinking into modern constructs and limitations while honoring the connecting breathe of life. To those who came before—and links to those yet here.

Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative project (PICCC)
Another important Ka‘ūpūlehu collaboration has been with the PICCC (Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative) project. This diverse, extended ‘ohana created a seasonal calendar and educational portal as one of the PICCC TEK (Traditional Education Knowledge) sites. The following links will connect you to a few of the many resources used to better understand, plan and manage the lands of Ka‘ūpūlehu. Many Partners worked together to bring these resources together.
