Dear Sir Brandon,

There is a growing concern in this country with the Hong Kong trade in

rare birds and mammals. These are imported by Hong Kong Chinese traders from

mainland China for the Hong Kong Chinese gourmets.

Conserve tionists are alarmed that the Hong Kong Government appears

unwilling to take any convincing measures to end this trade in endangered

species.

Is it possible that H.M.G. can prevail on the Governor of Hong Kong to

legislate?

I enclose cutting from the Guardian which is self explanatory, together

with a copy of a letter from Mr. Webster, who is Hong Kong Secretary of the Conservancy Association, which lists the animals concerned.

Yours Sincerely,

سات

(Miss Ann Huth.)

Huth.
