The Mauna Kea Watershed Alliance (MKWA) encompasses approximately 484,000 acres above the 2000’ elevation on the mountain of Mauna Kea. The MKWA seeks to manage critical watersheds on a landscape-level by initiating planning for priority areas with the goal of implementing management actions for threats such as feral ungulates, fire, and invasive alien weeds. Coordinated management of these watershed lands is critical to sustain adequate quality and quantity of water and provide important habitat for a wide diversity of native plants and animals, including many that are endangered.
