Is the bird sanctuary safe?

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada: In response to recent reports of a proposed new tourist resort on the so-called Mount Hartman Estate in the south of Grenada and the abolition of the bird sanctuary there, the Government of Grenada has issued a statement in order to avoid, it says, any misunderstanding or misinformation.

According to the statement, the assumption that the entire Mount Hartman Estate had been declared as a restricted zone (National Park, Bird Sanctuary) is incorrect. The fact is that a part-area of approximately 30 percent of the total Estate was declared as a restricted zone; the non-restricted area having always been zoned for a tourist development.
