Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon has written to international agencies complaining of government’s approval of the destruction of mangroves by Tristar Inc at Versailles/Malgre Tout, West Bank Demerara.
In the letter sent to key agencies including Conservation International, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Centre for International Forestry Research, and Amazon Conservation Team, Harmon said that the area intended to be utilised by Tristar Inc is a sanctuary and breeding ground for birds and marine life and pointed out that it is the developer’s intention to establish a shore base to service the ExxonMobil off shore oil exploration and production operations.
