Subject: Support Res. 234-25: Protect Pohakuloa izE
1c;
Aloha Committee Members,
I, Daisha-Ann Kahoali'i Kalilikane strongly support 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 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 Hawaii.
Mahalo,
Daisha-Ann Kahoalii-Kalilikane
Wailuku, Maui
