Large military bases, even firing ranges, have had an interesting unintended positive impact on nature.

By keeping developers and farmers out, these properties are some of the last areas available for endangered species.

Now off the endangered list we can in part thank the military.

Fort Riley, at the headwaters of the Kansas River, has
become one of the largest bald eagle wintering roosts in the continental United States, with an observed high of 388 eagles using the roost in just a single night.

Instead of going surfing and complaining , the military actual does stuff to protect the environment.... see.

Of course that is probably just propaganda and Native Hawaiians would never harm rare and endangered species.


In fact, this article about far greater harm caused by Native Hawaiians, is probably just lies.

" pigs , goats , and deer has resulted in extensive biodiversity loss in Hawaii . These animals were introduced by the Polynesians as domesticated livestock, and now play a destructive role in
the local ecosystem ."

Furthermore rather than defending the watersheds, Native Hawaiians are cited as strongly objecting to

" Management and restoration plans are in place
already ; however, opposition from certain groups"
