"The whole island is sacred and Mauna Kea is part of it," Warfield said. "All land is sacred in Hawaii. It’s not just one particular spot."

I was wondering when someone would point this out...

It may be sacred, but this doesn't preclude ecological devastation, bulldozers, etc. Most of the native habitat in Hawaii is long gone. It's hard not to see that Mauna Kea is a special place, and the whole Earth being sacred doesn't diminish the unique character of Mauna Kea. And Mauna Loa is part of a national park - why not Mauna Kea? Mauna Kea contains a wealth of cultural sites, and its unique geology even contains features from glaciation. A strong argument could be made that Mauna Kea should be a national park.
