Mahalo nui loa, Mr. Paul Simon, for thinking of KUA and Hawai'i's grassroots communities, their places and relationships with them and the awesome diversity of life in these islands!
Your contribution lifts up our collective work with the networks of E Alu Pu, Hui Mālama Loko I'a and the Limu Hui and advances our shared vision of ʻāina momona (“fat lands”)—rich abundant ecological systems that contribute to community well being.
“While no longer touring, Paul Simon has stated his ongoing commitment to perform the occasional concert and to donate those earnings to philanthropic organizations, particularly those dedicated to environmental welfare and to preserving species biodiversity,” according to a concert announcement.
Simon decided to contribute to The Auwahi Forest Restoration Project and Kua‘āina Ulu ‘Auamo after spending time visiting Maui in recent years and being inspired by their work.”
