Article only in Chinese. The news is even more unfortunate - one would have thought such a special place would be more valuable to the locals if the swifts weren't being decimated and eco-tours developed.....

Sorry it is such bad news. I only posted it as I was hoping maybe the BWS could raise it with a good contact that could stop or slow that senseless slaughter, in that area, if any.

No need to say sorry, it was a great idea to raise the public awareness about this butchery...
In my opinion, too many people have no idea about what is happening in Guangduong, and this is only the top of the iceberg.

Well done, and thanks again to have pointed this out.

All the best,

Jonathan

Hi Ken,

You are 100% correct to bring this to the forum's attention.  We need to be aware of what is happening.
