I agree…… If I recall, many years ago the lowly snail darter (an amphibian) stopped the Tennessee River Valley Authority from building a new nuclear plant because it would have endangered this rare species.

Wouldn’t the telescope be destroying the bugs natural habitat?

Taking care of the land and cultural resources, respecting the spiritual legacies of the Native Hawaiian people, looking at endemic and invasive species, keeping everything safe and tidy. Decommissioning the telescopes in 2030? I had never heard of this. Sounds good.
However, all this sounds so hollow when you briefly, oh so briefly, state:

“The plan also states that there will be no new development of observatories on undisturbed land following the Thirty Meter Telescope and any new development can only take place on an existing site. The plan also describes the future of astronomy over the next 15 years and anticipates fewer telescopes in the future.”

What kind of double talk is this? You must think we are fools! You slip in the most controversial issue as if it is a done deal, while trying to cover it over with your great plan. You also imply that there will be ‘fewer telescopes’ on ‘existng site(s) in the future.’ You continue to desecrate sacred land and plan to keep on doing so. Why don’t you just say it plain and clear for all to hear?

Shame on UH!
