Projects
Mangroves and other invasive species of plants, are causing great devastation to the unique landscape on the  island of Molokai.   We are looking to utilize the funds by purchasing tools and equipment to produce mouch and compose by, removing all of the mangroves, grass and other vegetation that's growing over the fishpond walls of the Hawaiian fishponds and wetlands where kalo (taro) once grew.  Mangroves have over taken the rock walls of the fishponds and beach fronts, blocking access to the ocean.  Based on research, the mangroves are the biggest problem on the Hawaiian Islands.   MA'ANA is looking forward working with other organizations by becoming partners, that will help our organization accomplish our goal on removing all mangroves on the island of Molokai.  We ask for your support, in assisting MA’ANA with this removal of this massive problem that overtook the fishpond walls on Molokai.  By doing so, we can eliminate future problems as we resolve and execute the problem we're having today.  Join us while we work diligently, creating a better tomorrow by, giving our children and the future generations a sustainable living and  teaching them on how to take care of our natural resources.

MA’ANA cannot do this alone and know when we fully dedicate ourselves to this project, we're participating by recreating a sustinable system and lifestyle that worked for over 2000 years, before western contact.  Angain, we are looking for volunteers from individuals and partnership with other functionable organizations, to fullfil the obligations as stewards and heal our lands.

A healthy mountain will bring good health to the ocean.  When you have a healthy mountian and ocean, both (mountain and ocean) can produce food that will bring good health to all people.
