The organization called Ducks Unlimited, a sporting magazine tells us it has funneled over$30 million into Canada to increase the number of ducks migrating down the Mississippi. The same magazine goes on to hope that "millions of sportsman will acquaint millions of non-sportsmen with the importance of hunting and fishing to conservation." These stirring words have moved me to seek general support for a project called Hunters Unlimited.
In the Hawaiian archipelago(群岛)there is one island never visited by tourists. It is Kahoolawe, about ten miles long and five miles wide, situated a few miles southwest of Maui. Like all the other Hawaiian islands, it is mountainous, rising to 1,477 feet above sea level; not really green, it seems to possess a rugged beauty; since it is without fresh water, it has always been uninhabited. During and ever since World War II it has been used as a target area by the Navy and Air Force and is now covered with live explosives. In consonance with the principle of multiple use of public lands, I propose that Kahoolawe serve as a location for Hunters Unlimited—only the first let us hope, of many such parks.
Arrangements would be simple; once a week a boat would ferry hunters and their equipment from Maui and take off any survivors able to get to the landing. The Navy and Air Force, naturally, would refrain from target practice, and the hunters observe a cease-fire, for the necessary hours. Most hunters, coming from the mainland, would have had to fly to Honolulu Airport, and then to Kahului, on the island of Maui, whence a shuffle bus service would transport them to the ferry at Maalaea Bay. It might become profitable to enlarge the airport at Kahului to accommodate full-size jets, so that a hunter could have breakfast in Los Angeles, fly direct, and be ferried to the hunting grounds by midday. Airlines might well offer a round-trip passage for the price of a one-way fare. So few sportsmen could take advantage of the return flight that the financial loss would be negligible.
The best title for this passage is ______.
