Good to see a stronger statement from WWF about the costs to them ( in both money and lost educational opportunities) caused by these "closures" of Mai Po by the Government.
I certainly agree that forbidding visits to MPNR sends entirely the wrong message to the public about the possibility that being anywhere near wild birds might be dangerous. As Mike K. pointed out earlier, no-one has ever caught avian 'flu from a wild bird.
I gather that some form of "quarantine" regulation was imposed, but there is NO transparency from the Government about which section of which law is being used to keep us out.
I think that just telling us "It's closed" isn't good enough.
Does anyone know which regulation was used to exclude us ?
