Support Res.2354-25
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 Hawaii 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 wahi pana- a sacred place with, deep cultural and ecological significance.
Continued military use is
incompatible with its conservation status and the values of aloha 'aina.
Please support this resolution to protect the land, water, and people of Hawai'i.
