On November 22, the BLNR will hear public testimony and make decision on the proposed 14-story telescope (ATST) for Haleakala. We really need community members to show up early, sign up to speak, and give testimony on this giant telescope proposal.
From Uncle Kiope Raymond: "All studies done for the proposed project indicate that in addition to the misuse of conservation lands, there will be major, adverse, short- and long-term direct impacts on traditional and cultural resources. We must let them know know that our summit will not be furuther desecrated."
