Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

There is a proposal to change the long standing Endangered Species Act which would affect not only protected birds, bees, monk seals, but the habitats required for them to survive.

Proposed change to Endangered Species Act could threaten Hawaiʻi's unique biodiversity

The issue is of particular concern in Hawaiʻi. The islands have more endangered species than any other state — 40% of the nation’s federally listed threatened and endangered species — even though Hawaiʻi has less than 1% of the land area, according to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

And while they’re at it an executive order on Thursday opened the entire Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, a protected area to commercial fishing.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
