The losses from the Lahaina fires illustrate how government investment in land management and fire prevention would be well worth the cost.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For far too long, we have forgotten the basic truth that our lives and the aina are inextricably intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Contaminate our aquifer, and people get poisoned<\/a>. Let invasive species overrun our watersheds<\/a>, and the groundwater our keiki and moopuna will need to survive and thrive will disappear. Pave over our agricultural lands, destroy our soil<\/a>, and our future generations may be unable to feed each other when the imports stop coming in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time-tested K\u0101naka \u02bb\u014ciwi perspectives and practices<\/a> reflect our kuleana to carefully steward the aina that previous, current, and future generations have depended and will continue to depend upon. Unfortunately, in today\u2019s society, we are clearly not upholding our end of this existential bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be clear, Hawaii has many unique and strong environmental protections and rights embodied in our constitution and statutes. However, year after year, our government invests a relative pittance<\/a> in state funding for our environmental agencies, rendering them both unable to fulfill their respective missions, and ever more vulnerable to political interference and influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerns have been raised about the lack of support for land and water management, which some believe led to the widespread invasive grasses that fed the fires last August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Ho\u02bb\u016blu Lahaina Unity Walk in West Maui on Jan. 20. The fires that happened in Lahaina cannot be allowed to happen again. (Kevin Fujii\/Civil Beat\/2024)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tragic loss of human life in Lahaina may now be compounded by the spread of transgenerational toxins<\/a> across the landscape and into the ocean<\/a>, threatening both aina and human health for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot allow similar tragedies to happen, and the incalculable losses from the Lahaina conflagration illustrate how nearly any amount of government investment in land management and attendant fire prevention would be well worth the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of re-remembering our connection to aina through the proper funding of environmental stewardship can go far beyond the prevention of wildfires, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds that can help implement our water code in a more timely manner will ensure that the public interest in our public trust water resources comes first \u2014 including in healthy and fire-resistant native ecosystems, affordable housing<\/a>, as well as in traditional, regenerative agriculture that has fed, and can still feed<\/a>, a million people or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding that can meaningfully take back our native watersheds from invasive species will enhance both stream and groundwater<\/a> needed for fire prevention and suppression, and for the drinking water and recreational, cultural, economic, and other needs of future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break the pattern of neglect that has plagued our islands.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greater investments in fisheries management and loko ia restoration, particularly when driven by cultural practitioners, can expand and perpetuate the presence and lifestyles of K\u0101naka \u02bb\u014ciwi communities dedicated to protecting aina, including from fire risks \u2014 while also restoring abundance to the nearshore waters that are a source of spiritual and physical sustenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can no longer ignore the basic fact that the conditions of our existence has been and will continue to be shaped by our stewardship, or lack thereof, of these islands we call home. As a society we can no longer abdicate our fundamental duty to the aina and by extension, to our children and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an individual, please consider accepting our generation\u2019s kuleana to provide a hopeful and resilient future for our keiki. If you consider Hawaii your home, reach out to your legislator<\/a>, and ask that they prioritize the ongoing investment of resources necessary to truly steward our aina, and break the pattern of neglect that has plagued our islands for far too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
