In order to assess whether B. dendrobatidis is present on the native amphibians of Hong Kong, we sampled wild populations of Amolops hongkongensis, Paa exil- ispinosa, P. spinosa and Rana chloronota during 2005–2006. Amphibians infected with B. dendro- batidis have been found in the international trade, so we also examined the extent and nature of the amphibian trade in Hong Kong during 2005–2006, and assessed whether B. -

LCQ1: Development of Heritage Tourism ********************************
LCQ1: Development of heritage tourism ******************************** Following is a question by the Hon Yiu Si-wing and a reply by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Edward Yau, in the Legislative Council today (May 5): Question: In December last year, the Government abruptly halted the demolition works for the service reservoir at Bishop Hill in Sham Shui Po (the service reservoir), enabling this century-old structure to survive. In March this year, the Antiquities Advisory Board endorsed the recommended grading (i.e. Grade 1 historic building) for the service reservoir. The Government is exploring a restricted opening of the service reservoir for visit by the public upon the completion of the temporary strengthening and tidying up works for the service reservoir. Some members of the public have suggested that the Government may, by making reference to overseas examples, invite experts to discuss the options for revitalising the service reservoir, as well as consider developing the service reservoir into a tourist attraction in Asia. Regarding the development of heritage tourism, will the Government inform this Council: (1) whether it has drawn up a series of conservation and revitalisation programmes for the service reservoir to promote heritage tourism; if so, of the details (including an implementation timetable); if not, the reasons for that; (2) whether it will include the service reservoir as one of the tourist attractions under the "Hong Kong Neighbourhoods – Sham Shui Po" campaign implemented by the Hong -
