From: big islandoraphics6lyahoo.com <br /> To: Council Remote Testimony;WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: Written testimony <br /> Date: Tuesday,March 5,2024 1:31:49 PM <br /> Aloha, <br /> My name is Kimie Herb and I reside in Ka'u with my Ohana.We have had 5 children attend <br /> Ka'u High and Pahala Elementary school.Ka'u is our home and we love and enjoy the Country <br /> life away from the traffic and congestion of Kona and Hilo.A large project which will bring <br /> mass amounts of traffic and people do not belong in Ka'u.This place is protected by its remote <br /> area and provides protection to many Native species that are able to thrive and grow without <br /> harm or endangerment. <br /> When you travel to the mainland they have places that are protected and left untouched for <br /> hundreds of miles due to its one of a kind Beauty and unique landscapes.One place is a World <br /> Heritage site The Grand Canyon which is 1,904 miles and 1,218,375.54 acres of protected as a <br /> designated natural monument that ensures its natural Beauty and geological features for future <br /> generations. I believe Hawai'i also has its own Heritage sites that should be protected.Punalu'u <br /> is one of the top places that fall into that category.Punalu'u is a Hawai'i Heritage site that <br /> should be designated as a Protected Natural resource and environmentally protected space for <br /> many species to thrive and live undisturbed. The Beauty, Geological features,Archaeological <br /> sites and Native Species of Punalu'u needs to be Protected and Unsettled for generations. No <br /> to any more development of already precious land of Punalu'u. <br /> Mahalo Nui, Kimie Herb <br /> March 5th 2024 <br /> Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <br />
