To save the endangered native palila, the cause of <br />population decline needs investigation. The Federal Courts need to <br />be updated by the State, with new information that the federal sheep <br />eradication madate to save the palila has failed. <br />The return of properly managed game animal populations on Mauna <br />Kea would control invasive weeds, reduce grass fire fuel build up, and <br />protect native species from wild fire. Such management would also <br />satisfy hunters, and provide an important renewable backup food <br />resource for our communities, as we face inflation and soaring food <br />costs. Game resources should not be sencelessly depleted at a time <br />when residents need them most. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hawaii County Game Management Advisory Commission <br /> <br /> <br />
