    Can we please stop speaking of „development“ when some billionaires start throwing money at a natural habitat that should be protected. Instead it will now become some kind of uber rich disney land.

      It was sold to the Trumps, what do you think their plan is for it - donating it to a wildlife society?

      It’s not like the news reporter has changed its fate with the terms they chose to discuss this purchase in.

        Words form realities. We have to start spelling out what is wrong and what is right. The press is called the forth power for a reason!

        It is wrong to sell this island to the Trumps. It is wrong to build a rich people disney land.

        This island should be a protected area. A natural habitat.
