Beginning tonight at 5 pm, a half hour program (Kaulana Na Wai `Eha: Restoring Maui's famous streams) will air on Akaku (Channel 53) to share the story of Hui o Na Wai `Eha and Maui Tomorrow Foundation's efforts to restore life-giving water to Waikapu, `Iao, Waiehu and Waihe`e streams in Central Maui, which are traditionally known as Na Wai `Eha or the Four Great Waters. Agricultural plantations (and former ag interests) have drained Na Wai `Eha Streams dry for over a century. Community groups are now working to return public trust resources to public management to protect and restore their quality of life for present and future generations. This is their story.
The program will also air on Channel 53 on:
July 19th at 5:30 pm
July 27th at 10 am
July 31 at 6 pm, and
August 8th at 9:30 pm
Feel free to share the good news with your friends and family.

Posted in Maui news
Palm oil companies are burning peat forests to clear land for plantations in Indonesia's Riau province, despite government pledges to end forest fires, environment group Greenpeace said on Thursday. Forest fires are an annual menace for Indonesia and the country's neighbours, who have grown deeply frustrated at the apparent lack of success in curbing the dry-season blazes and vast smoke clouds, or haze, that smothers the region.
