Naha Court to Assess Environmental DamageDate Posted: 2000-05-05 The groups claim the construction destroys the habitat of yambarukuina and other rare and threatened species that live in the area’s jungles. They also blame the prefecture for causing red soil flows into the ocean, which causes the corals to die. The court decided to conduct an on-site survey in areas around Kunigami Village to assess the groups’ claim. In particular, the groups claim that the prefecture failed to take any precautions to prevent environmental damage when it constructed roads and other facilities in the area. The group demands that the prefecture should repay the money spent on the construction. |
