The Three Mountain Alliance (TMA) was formed when members of the `Öla`a Kïlauea Partnership (OKP), based on their 10 year success of partnering, decided to enlarge watershed protection and management to over one million acres across Mauna Loa, Kïlauea, and Hualälai as part of an expanded Partnership. OKP members have agreed there is a compelling need to collaborate on a wide variety of land management issues in forested watersheds across this TMA landscape. Coordinated management across this landscape is critical to sustain adequate quality and quantity of water and to provide important habitat for a wide diversity of native plants and animals, including endangered species. In addition, the health of these lands is strongly connected with the quality of life for people and local communities. Even in the absence of a formal partnership, private and public landowners in this region have recognized the value of collaboration to address shared management challenges such as invasive weeds, fire and feral cattle.
