Mauna Kea protests

[underwaterrhymes]

My friend is Hawaiian and I’ve been following his posts closely.

What’s happening - this destruction of sacred land - is a travesty. And everyone is so silent on it - from the media to other people’s posts. It’s infuriating.

I came across this yesterday, on the Hawaiians fight to reclaim their water rights. earthjustice.org/features/island-revival-water-returns-to-hawai-i-s-people?fbclid=IwAR1lOtxFIrFHjlpdFzUcC0WufDZrCQ0KcmgdTm3Onl_6ZSeQnSuj5ENXv6s


There are thirteen observatories on Mauna Kea already. Can they not use the site of one of those observatories for this new one? Fourteen will become fifteen will become...a natural beauty destroyed, covered with observatories like pimples on the surface.

As part of the 30 m telescope they are dismantling three other telescopes on the mountain and have agreed to dismantle an additional two by 2030. This project will be a decrease of 4 telescopes in the end.

I've not heard anything about this BUT I only watch the ABC News with David Muir nightly. Interestingly they've been showing the protests in Puerto Rico and Hong Kong almost nightly.
