A Compilation of Priority Actions to Appropriately Accelerate Ahupuaʻa Stewardship and Restoration
The Ahupuaʻa Accelerator Initiative is pleased to share the Ahupuaʻa Action Agenda (Action Agenda). Released in June 2023 during the Kauwela season, the Action Agenda presents a present-day snapshot of systems-focused priority actions in ahupuaʻa stewardship and restoration. The report is informed by the lived experiences of stewardship practitioners across the pae ʻāina, in particular representatives from AAI Site Partner Ahupuaʻa and participants of the 2022 AAI Peer-to-peer Learning Cohort.

The goal of this report is to catalyze momentum and mobilize additional support for ahupuaʻa stewardship and restoration through strengthened communication, coordination, and collaborations focused around a series of priority actions. The Action Agenda is intended for audiences who may be interested in directing additional effort or resources toward addressing existing needs. This includes individuals and organizations who are actively engaged in ahupuaʻa stewardship and restoration, and those who work with or for communities to advance on-the-ground restoration actions.
The true value of the Action Agenda can only be realized through collective action whereby many hands simultaneously uplift priorities to catalyze meaningful advancement. Several of the priority actions contained in the report are underway. We welcome you to complete the Collective Action Worksheet (Appendix A) to identify and rank the priorities that most harmonize with your efforts. The AAI curates an internal list of partners and collaborators working to advance specific priorities. If you’re interested in contributing to these collective efforts, please contact ahupuaa.action.agenda@gmail.com.
Additional opportunities for dialogue and exchange to meaningfully advance priorities within the Action Agenda are planned for the second half of 2023 and beyond. Further details will be announced when available.
