Biodiversity is an important life-supporting safety net for future generations. However, a 2019 UN sustainability report states that we are faced with unprecedented and accelerating rates of species extinction- and points to human activity as a major contributor to this trend.1 How can people be part of the solution? 

The Imminent Plant Cuff is a device that encourages greater awareness of the health of the ‘Aina by helping plants and their caretakers communicate. Environmental sensors broadcast environmental data to the device such as pH, sunlight, moisture, and nutrient levels. The device translates this data into color signals to the wearer. With the Imminent Plant Cuff, humanity can be more connected to its kuleana.
