Subject: Support Res. 2354-25
Committee Members,
I urge you to approve this. resolution.
US Military training at Pohakuloa has already caused serious harm -burning nearly 20,000 acres, contaminating
the land, and threatening endangered species. Beneath this area lies a major aquifer that supplies fresh water
to Hawai'i Island, and the military's track record shows they are not equipped to protect it.
There is also serious concern about depleted uranium left in the soil, which can become airborne during
exercises and has known health risks.
Pohakuloa is a sacred place with deep cultural and ecological significance. Continued military use is
incompatible with its conservation status and our values.
Please protect the land, water, and people of Hawai'i.
