In response to recent news that a corner of one of Hong Kong's most beautiful beach areas has been purchased for development, there has been a ground swell of support for pressure group Friends of Tai Long Sai Wan.  They now have over 58,000 members on their Facebook page.
They and their supporters will undertake the following events this coming weekend:
Saturday, 24 July 2010: Â Petition to AFCD
The plan is to meet outside the AFCD offices (303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon) and present a letter to Alan WONG Chi Kong, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation. Â Their objectives are to:
- Request AFCD to enforce the law
- Challenge illegal transportation of construction machinery
- Prevent effluent flowing into Tai Long Wan
Sunday, 25 July 2010: Hike to Save Tai Long Sai Wan
A self-organized hike to Tai Long Sai Wan for those who wish to see the area and the development in its current state. Â The activity is not under the auspices of any official group and those who participate do so at their own risk. Â There will be no special security, rescue or support services. Â It is recommended that hikers take necessary precautions, bring plenty of water, food, sun protection and mosquito repellent.
WWF has also developed an online petition which you can use to make your voice heard.
