Three Mountain Alliance

The Three Mountain Alliance (TMA) is a voluntary partnership that was formed when members of the ‘Ōla‘a-Kīlauea Partnership (OKP), based on their 10-year success of partnering, decided to expand watershed protection and management to over one million acres across Mauna Loa, Kīlauea, and Hualālai. OKP members agreed there was a compelling need to collaborate on a wide variety of land management issues in forested watersheds across the 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.
