(AP) — A group of protesters fighting a giant telescope planned for Hawaii’s tallest mountain marched to the state university system president’s home. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the march of about 70 protesters marked 2,400 days since heavy equipment first arrived on Mauna Kea. Protesters have been blocking construction. They say the Thirty Meter Telescope will desecrate sacred land. Protest leaders say they marched to David Lassner’s Honolulu home because he has the power to stop the project. The University of Hawaiʻi manages the Big Island summit. Telescope opponents say the university has mismanaged the land and has ignored Native Hawaiians’ pleas.
