KAHEA means "The Call"- the calling is to protect Hawaii Nei.
KAHEA: The Hawaiian-Environmental Alliance is a taro-roots network that brings together concerned community members, kupuna, cultural practitioners and environmental experts. Together we develop coordinated strategies, share expertise, build networks and focus campaigns in order to become more effective in protecting Hawai'i's fragile environment, resources and culture.
By joining forces, Native Hawaiians, environmental activists and the concerned public can have a much greater impact on issues that affect us all.
KAHEA works from Mauka to Makai to:
- Protect public & cultural access to beaches & mountains threatened by private commercial & military development,
- Stop genetic modification of Hawaii's most sacred plant, Kalo (taro),
- Ensure the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), now known as Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, are fully protected,
- Stop the unregulated dumping of waste water into our oceans by the cruise ship industry,
- Protect the sacred summit of Mauna Kea from uncontrolled development,
- Advocate for the clean up of Hawaiian communities contaminated by landfills, weapons dumping, and other abuses of native lands & waters.
- ʻO wai ke ahupuaʻa āu e noho nei? Where do you live?
