WWF: China waste destroying HK wetland reserve

I only post this story because RichAsianKid did visit HK wetland
reserve in Jan 2007. I can say that it's not exactly a wetland
reserve. It's surrounded by all these buildings and it's really just
like a city theme park. But there again, even with its inauspicious
start, China's waste is already threatening to destroy any remnant of
it. Incredible!

China waste destroying HK wetland reserve: WWF

Last Updated 28/02/2007, 02:22:51

The wildlife conservation agency WWF says an important reserve for
migratory birds in Hong Kong is being polluted by industrial and
organic waste from China.

The manager of the Mai Po reserve, Lew Young, says sewage, farm waste
and industrial pollution is flowing into the reserve's wetlands,
located on Hong Kong's northwestern tip and a short distance from the
mainland city of Shenzhen.

Mr Young says the problem has grown worse with rapid urbanisation in
Shenzhen, and is threatening the survival of endangered water birds
such as the black-face spoonbill.

Pollution experts say around 52 billion tonnes of mostly untreated
waste are discharged into rivers in China every year, polluting
waterways and coastal seawater.

out of state holiday, and another moment you say you say you visited a
