GLOBAL AWARENESS: Natural Beauty of Guåhan May be Gone Forever as DOD Plans to Use Ritidian, Pagat Village or Fena for a Live Firing Range Complex.

Afanelos,

We've recently launched a series of Public Service Announcements as part of our efforts to inform our community about the potential impacts of the proposed military buildup.

Approximately 4,000 acres of our land and sea are at risk of being taken for use as an enormous firing range complex. According to the SEIS, at the selected site, more than 6.7 million bullets will be fired every year. These bullets will disturb pristine coastline, cultural sites and critical recovery habitat. Although Ritidian/Litekyan is DOD’s “preferred alternative,” Pagat and Fena are 2 other areas that DOD is still considering for the site of its firing range complex.  

With your generous donations, we've purchased airtime on local channels through June 17, 2014 to make sure that accurate information is available to our community before the commenting period ends. The commenting period has been extended to July 2, 2014. This gives us a few more days to get the word out but we can't do this without your help.
