Aloha Pueo Watchers-  Question of the Day?
Inline image
Will DLNR initiate a cease and desist order to UHWO on the 300-acre (non- Campus - non- higher learning segment of the property )  - and put an end to the real estate venture that is about to take place- and to rather, to ask UH Systems- the Board of Regents- request the UH System to end the lease agreements for the 300-acres -  the 300-acres /acreage to be leased by UHWO for commercial and housing endeavors? 

To do this - oder a temporary injunction-  during the Pueo nesting /fledgling /courting season for the Pueo @ UHWO-  will any one entertain this? 

Will OHA be asking for the remaining Pueo habitat as seen in video -  on that 300-acres-  that this open range untouched by the plow for over 20 years-  that this acreage of 300-acres - that it /this rare, dying out Pueo habitat - that it should be protected-  for the proliferation of the Pueo?

Will any Habitat Conservation Plan be advanced for the Pueo to save this property here of prime Pueo grounds at UHWO? 

Will the FEIS narrative for UHWO continue to stand-  of which is a false narrative? 

Claiming that the UHWO (500-acre site) contained zero habitat for wildlife-  that not a blade of grass or crumb of earth existed on the 500-acre property that was of benefit or of any worth to any wildlife- that was the narrative-  is that a truthful portrayal of the property? 

Will any person in government be asking the 
Office of Environmental and Quality Control
 to correct the "false" narrative in the UHWO FEIS?

And who will stand up to take action- and correct the FEIS? 

DLNR has Administrative Rule Making Authority to ACT- to make the correction-  will they?

And who will it be that will ask for a SEIS be done on behalf and in the name of the Pueo? 
DLNR has the authority....but will OHA have to intervene to garner compliance?
  Who will come forward in government to initiate and install the new language 
that the UHWO (500-acre) property
 does /did indeed possess today, contain today, and house today, the Hawaiian Owl- the Pueo?

Shouldn't the truth be told about what is at UHWO? 
Shouldn't the false narrative that zero Pueo live here in the FEIS - shouldn't that be corrected? 

The Office of Environmental and Quality Control can make the correction- 
but they at OEQC refuse to respond- why?

The 300-acres -  the land to be developed at UHWO -  is not of party to the actual UHWO campus -  and not of party to the higher learning environment- ***And the 300-acre property is systematically being ripped up now - plot to plot- parcel to parcel-  from fallow ag parcels that were in a 20-year non-ag production /state of condition - into new farming enterprises. 

These new farming enterprises are killing the Pueo.

However-  the solution is so very simple- and a win-win....

UHWO has 900-acres up the road-  simply take that 300-acre development at UHWO planned for now (being currently farmed) and put it- that 300-acres our Pueo are living on- ---and put that plan to develop that 300-acres -  and rather- put it, the 300-acre development instead on that 900-acre parcel up the road- - anywhere on the 900-acre property  -  make it a swap!  

And - answer is- leave the 300-acres as is at the UHWO Campus proper-  -  the 300-acres stays as is where it is- as a buffer-   to serve as a UHWO Laboratory- to study endangered plants and animals etc-  an opportunity to leave that land as is- a priceless feature for UHWO Biology Majors /to nurture the Preservation of Endangered Specie Specialists/Doctorates of the future/Environmentalist. 

And the land -  it is surrounded by DHHL homes-   priceless- meant to be, a natural fit.

See PHOTO capture JPG pasted below.

VIDEO FORMAT:
Date:  September 6, 2017

Video by Tom Berg-

Narrative-   
One Pueo arrives /reveals itself -  opening scene of Pueo in flight in video landing to "spot of curiosity"-  (where fledglings have been documented) -  then the video does a cut-away to the Pueo with the landing on site at the Hunehune Gulch-  with a Pueo then spending a couple of minutes checking "me out" in its space.

Then the video illustrates the departure of the Pueo from two camera positions. 
Duration of video 3:52
