Land and People
Hawaiʻi conservationist and artist Melissa Chimera and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa fire and ecosystems scientist Dr. Clay Trauernicht talk with land protectors in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific about the places they cherish through their professional and ancestral ties. We paint an intimate portrait of today’s land stewards dealing with global crises while problem solving at the local level.
In Season 5, we turn to Oʻahu and the wai (water) issues that came to the forefront after 2026’s extreme weather, beginning with the Kona lows, from rapid response and recovery to long-term stewardship of wai, ʻāina, and communities.
Brought to you by the Cooperative Extension Program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources.
