Conf irm<strong>at</strong>lon <strong>of</strong> existing inform<strong>at</strong>ion valid<strong>at</strong>es previously col-<br />

lected inform<strong>at</strong>ion, providing all users firm, dependable "intel-<br />

ligence" which, with one reference loc<strong>at</strong>ion, saves time and<br />

enormous frustr<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

Additional N<strong>at</strong>ural Area acquisitions w i l l require this type<br />

<strong>of</strong> well-conceived identific<strong>at</strong>ion and document<strong>at</strong>ion process to<br />

enhance the case for acquisition.<br />

The Fish and Wildlife Service <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Interior<br />

has already implemented a corollary program through its forest<br />

bird survey administered by Mike Scott, and the St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hawaii</strong><br />

has a similar program in its 'Alala (<strong>Hawaii</strong>an Crow) survey. The<br />

Maulua acquisition itself was influenced by inform<strong>at</strong>ion gener<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

in a logical consistent manner by the forest bird survey, as w i l l<br />

additional N<strong>at</strong>ure Conservancy acquisitions. A shift to pre-<br />

serving wildlife systems will become the responsibility <strong>of</strong> The<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Interior if Sen<strong>at</strong>e Bill 1820 or the equivalent<br />

House Bill passes during <strong>1978</strong> or 1979. These bills provide for a<br />

N<strong>at</strong>ional Heritage Program, identifying not only flora and fauna,<br />

but also within the same inform<strong>at</strong>ion m<strong>at</strong>rix, cultural and prehis-<br />

toric sites <strong>of</strong> significance. Each St<strong>at</strong>e w i l l be responsible for<br />

adhering to the criteria to qualify for Federal funds.<br />

Locally, the St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hawaii</strong> and the County <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hawaii</strong> recog-<br />

nize adapt<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> their codes to reflect subdivision for non-<br />

economic uses may enhance the values which are so frequently sold<br />

as Hawai'i. Areas may be left without visible habit<strong>at</strong>ion.
