Preserving Indigenous Wisdom and Ecological Biodiversity.
We envision a global culture and economy that honors and protects Ancient Forests and the Indigenous tribes that steward them.
We are leveraging the power of applied coherence and Indigenous wisdom to build a just transition to a forest-friendly economy.
Funding alone is not enough to protect Ancient Forests.
While there is wonderful work being conducted around the world to protect Ancient Forests, we are still falling short. Forests are continually decimated at alarming rates, leading to the exponential increase in natural disasters, pandemics, scarcity of resources, and suffering of humans.
Conventional social and political perspectives view nature as a commodity, incentivizing the endless consumption and boundless exploitation of Earth in order to feed an insatiable economic system that relies on that agreement.
Effective Transition Programs are essential and possible only through cultivating new conversations, unexpected alliances, and new possibilities. Coherence is the missing piece in our ability to cultivate a forest-friendly economy.
The state of Ancient Forests
Kaiāulu is building coherence by uniting communities, scientists, governments, industries, and indigenous stewards to achieve the permanent protection of all Ancient Forests.

Preserving Ancient Forests
Protecting Ancient Forests is key to solving the interrelated crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pandemics.
Charting a just transition to a forest-friendly economy involves these six essential industry transition initiatives.
Redirect the Money
Redirect incentive structures to support the preservation of forests and forest-dwelling communities.
Change the Rules
Develop public policies to ban all industrial activities in Ancient Forests and support their preservation.
Defend the Defenders
Protect and bolster the voices of forest and land defenders and implement their guidance.
Transform the Corporations
New business models that promote conservation, regeneration and restoration.
Support the Communities
Support forest-dependent communities through policies, resources, opportunities.
Let the Forests Grow!
Proforestation purposefully grows existing intact forest toward their full ecological potential.

What We Are Building
We provide the necessary resources, communications, and strategies to connect and empower existing organizations to work together to protect Ancient Forests worldwide.
We are a collaboratory for societal, political, and industrial leaders to collaborate and forge the necessary protection of every last hectare of Ancient Forest.
Our role is to catalyze the necessary comprehensive shift so that policies, funding and actions are reoriented and redirected to Ancient Forest protection.
This begins with facilitating non-conventional discussions between cutting-edge forest science innovators, economists, indigenous wisdom-keepers, and leaders in government, industry, and technology to negotiate and implement programs for mutually beneficial change.
Industrial Activity Transition Programs
A system of standards and processes that facilitate the assessment, engagement, strategic planning, and expert teams to negotiate peaceful transitions of industrial activity out of all Ancient Forests.
Integration of Indigenous Wisdom
Indigenous wisdom recognizes the full potential of our interconnected universe, empowering society to leverage the power of symbiosis to facilitate a world of abundance and harmony for all.
Centralized Narrative & Alliance Network
A centralized narrative to “protect all Ancient Forests” for NGOs, governments, brands, and media companies to unify around and support together. A global network consisting of Advisors, Tribal Council, Brand Partners, and strategic alliances.
Walkabout Immersion Program
Formulas, systems, and processes for delivering an immersive walkabout program for stakeholders in the protection of Ancient Forests.
Mother Tree Profiling Program
A process for locating and profiling the “Mother Tree” and local indigenous communities within some of Earth’s most vital Ancient Forests. For the purpose of connecting the world to the beauty and awe of these majestic forests and the stewards that preserve them.
Ancient Forest Protection Master Plan
As a function of Kaiāulu, we will work with our Alliance Network to establish a comprehensive budget and strategic plan for permanently protecting all remaining Ancient Forests on Earth.
Partner programs
Here are some of the programs our partners are championing.
- Support Allocation System
- Ancient Forest Registry

Indigenous Stewards of the Forests
Our leadership is guided by the wisdom of our indigenous ancestors and the stewards of Earth’s biodiversity. This wisdom is woven into the fabric of our community and is central to our values.
Kaiāulu is devoted to elevating the voices of our elders and drawing society into a relationship of reverence and inspired action to protect the sanctity of life on Earth. These profound teachings cultivate a path towards harmony and balance in our ecosystem.
