ʻO ka kaiaola he hui ia o nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona e noho ana ma kahi kikoʻī. I kekahi manawa he hapa kekahi o nā kānaka. ʻO ka wahi a i ʻole ka nohona kekahi ʻāpana o ka kaiaola. Kapa ʻia ʻo ia he biotope. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo Helene "eco" ʻo ia ka "hale" a i ʻole "hale". ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "pūnaewele" e hōʻike ana i kahi mea pili. ʻO ka ʻepekema kūlohelohe e wehewehe ana i nā kaiaola kaiaola.
ʻO ka nui o kēia wahi noho a me nā mea nona ia e hoʻoholo ʻia e nā kānaka, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻepekema. Ke hilinaʻi mau nei i ka mea āu e makemake ai e ʻike. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kapa i ke kumu lāʻau popopo a i ʻole ka loko iʻa he kaiaola – akā hiki iā ʻoe ke kapa i ka nahele holoʻokoʻa kahi i loaʻa ai ke kumu lāʻau a me ka loko. A i ʻole he lau nahele me ke kahawai e kahe ana.
Hoʻololi nā kaiaola i ka manawa. Ke make nā mea kanu, hana lākou i humus ma ka lepo kahi e ulu ai nā mea kanu hou. Inā hānau ikaika kekahi ʻano holoholona, ʻaʻole lawa ka ʻai. A laila e emi hou ana kēia mau holoholona.
Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke hoʻopilikia ʻia kahi kaiaola mai waho. ʻO kēia ka hopena o ke kahawai, no ka laʻana, ke ninini ka hale hana i ka wai lepo i ka lepo. Mai laila mai, hiki i ka mea make ke komo i loko o ka wai honua, a mai laila aku i ke kahawai. Hiki i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu o ke kahawai ke make i ka lāʻau make. ʻO kekahi laʻana, ʻo ia ka uila e hahau ana i ka nahele, e puhi ana i nā lāʻau a pau i ke ahi.
