​Sanctuary is for ecosystem restoration.

Santuary is a place for healing.
 

Sanctuary is rooted in restoring the integrity of native Hawaiian ecosystems, specifically focusing on the upland forest realms  - Wao Nahele and Wao Kele - of Haleakalā. The restoration effort is guided by principles of kuleana (responsibility), reciprocity, and ecological wholeness, recognizing that the health of land, water, and living beings are deeply interconnected. The vision is not only to restore native species and ecosystems but also to rekindle sustainable relationships between people and ʻāina (land)—creating a model of cultural, ecological, and spiritual renewal.

​

Sanctuary abides by the principle that to restore waterways is to restore the lifeblood of the land, and directs its proceeds to funding watershed restoration. Methods to be practiced with restoration work have been pioneered and successfully modeled at places like Auwahi, and are ready to be implemented elsewhere.Sanctuary abides by the Hawaiian Moku Management Principles as it relates to Kula Moku, Keokea ahupua'a realms (wao) and appropriate land use and conservation. Learn more. ​​
