Indigenous-Led Aerial Mapping & GIS Solutions for Forestry and Environmental Applications Across the Big Island
Who We Are.
Supporting Hawaiʻi’s Lands and Communities Through Advanced Geospatial Technology
Numu provides advanced aerial mapping and geospatial support across the Big Island, grounded in Indigenous stewardship and modern technology. Our aircraft are equipped with survey-grade LiDAR, multispectral, and high-resolution RGB sensors, delivering precise land, forest, and vegetation data to support restoration planning, fire resilience, ecosystem health monitoring, and sustainable resource management.
With a mission to protect and restore the land, Numu brings cultural responsibility and technical excellence together — offering accurate, high-resolution geospatial intelligence to guide Hawai‘i’s environmental and forestry projects.
Honoring Hawai'i's Lands Through Indigenous-Led Aerial Mapping & Stewardship
Cultural & Environmental Stewardship Support
Partnering with Native Hawaiian organizations, land trusts, and conservation agencies to document cultural landscapes, restore ʻāina, and support ahupuaʻa-aligned resource management with high-accuracy geospatial data.
Wildfire Prevention & Response Support
Providing drone-based thermal detection, hotspot mapping, and fuels assessments to help prevent wildfires, support suppression efforts, and protect communities and landscapes.
Forest Health & Native Ecosystem Monitoring
Using LiDAR, multispectral imagery, and GIS analysis to assess native forest dynamics, detect invasive species spread, monitor ʻōhiʻa decline, and guide habitat restoration across Hawaiʻi Island’s diverse ecosystems.
Watershed Mapping & Hydrologic Modeling
Using LiDAR and advanced GIS analysis to map watershed boundaries, stream networks, and flow paths — helping identify flood-risk zones, sediment pathways, and critical recharge areas essential to island water security.
