Wao Kele O Puna rainforest transferred to OHA
Star-Bulletin
covers
the ceremony for the formal transfer of 25,856-acre Wao Kele O Puna forest on
the Big Island to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs yesterday, "the first land
acquisition in the history of OHA." And Inouye asks forgiveness for supporting
geothermal.
Advertiser
also has a story:
"Two large land parcels described as the last large, intact lowland rainforest
in the Islands were dedicated for preservation yesterday in a ceremony that
praised efforts by people who protested and sued to block plans to develop the
site for geothermal energy production."
