Crowds at campsites ‘not out of control’: Hong Kong conservation authorities
AI Summary
Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) defended its management of crowds in Sai Kung country parks during the Lunar New Year holiday, stating the situation was "within expectations" despite concerns about overcrowding. The AFCD reported 32 enforcement cases during the period and claimed campsites quickly returned to their original condition after use, with no serious environmental damage observed. However, a Sai Kung district councillor argued that camper numbers exceeded recommended capacity at popular sites. The councillor suggested the government consider crowd control measures like a reservation system to prevent strains on facilities and the environment. The AFCD stated that they increased patrols and sought to balance education with enforcement.
