Your letters were especially useful because some f the earlier letters were tables at a meeting of LegCo's Panel on Fod safety and Environmental Hygeine in March when the discussed birdflu.   Even though the government is now using the international 21-days standard in deciding when to reopen Mai Po after a cse of birdflu, they still need to tell the public: * why it was neccessary to close Mai Po in the first place. None of the countries where there have been cases of bird flu have closed their nature reserves. In the case of the UK where a dead swan was recently found in Scotland, the government even made a point to tell the public that the countryside was still safe to visit and encouraged people to go out. * how far away from Mai Po does the wild bird need to be before they decide whether there is a need to close Mai Po. This time, the government used the dead Peregrine Falcon at Tin Shui Wai as the excuse for the closure of Mai Po and to start the clock ticking for the 21 days count down the reopening of Mai Po. What if  next time the dead bird was found in Wanchai or Lamma? Does Mai Po need to be closed in that case?   Whist we can celebrate today, there are a lot of questions that the government still has to answer if we are to stop them from closing Mai Po again next winter.   Thank you for everyone's support once again!!   Lew Young Mai Po Nature Reserve « Last Edit: Apr 12th, 2006, 8:43pm by Lew_Young » Logged Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: Mai Po Reopens « Reply #3 on: Apr 12th, 2006, 11:07pm » Quote Modify Let us give a big hand to WWF and ourselves!   Enjoy the Easter gift for the time being and be prepared to repeat our effort to establish our line.       « Last Edit: Apr 14th, 2006, 1:28am by Fred » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------=> Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
