Echoing Beetle's words . . .
a BIG THANK YOU to all those who submitted photos and contributed to the withdrawal of the CDNCEA zoning for Long Valley.
This approach was introduced after seeing how logos were used for educating people to avoid disturbing terns in Mirs Bay.
We have recently used the same approach in calling for Po Toi to be declared a Country Park.
The reasons we are keen to encourage this approach are:
1) each submission is obviously unique
2) each photo comes from someone who actively visits the place
3) Its a powerful way to show the level of HKBWS participation
4) these submissions are much more interesting for the officials who process them
5) the decision makers can see for themselves what we want to protect
6) a shared logo creates a very consistent message (a special thank you to our logo designer!)
7) easy to share on facebook, website etc
8) You don't need to be an expert - ordinary people can make a difference
Thanks again - and I hope you will contribute to our next campaign.
Cheers
Mike K
