Their vision is to “strengthen the future of Maunakea as a natural, cultural, and scientific environment. Through community engagement and stewardship that protects, preserves, and enhances Maunakea, [they] provide a world-class center dedicated to education, research, and astronomy for all of Hawaii” (source).
