Kahea The Hawaiian Environmental Alliance in eList Hawaii Directory

Kahea is a network of activists throughout the five main Hawaiian Islands. We address critical issues within our communities and ahupuaa (geographic and cultural demarcation from the uppermost land to the outer reef). We work with citizens organizing to protect sensitive shorelines and culturally significant sites from inappropriate development and to prevent the conversion of our agricultural lands to gated communities, golf courses, and malls. We also work to protect Hawai‘is threatened biodiversity and endangered species. One of KAHEAs objectives is to convene key activists, kupuna (elders), practitioners and resource experts. Together they develop coordinated strategies, share expertise, build networks and focus campaigns in order to become more effective in protecting Hawaiis fragile environment, resources and people. We strive to encourage citizen participation through outreach and education. By joining forces, Native Hawaiians, environmentalist activists and the concerned public can have a much greater impact on issues that affect us all.
