( 2003-12-24 16:27) (China Daily)
More than 10,000 residents of Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan
Province, have signed their names on a streamer, pledging to protect wildlife
and the environment, reports Chuncheng Evening News.
Initiated by the provincial forest-preservation department, the campaign also
saw 50 chefs taking an oath to refuse cooking animals or plants on the country's
protected list.
One more streamer, about 100 metres long, had to be added to the original -
which was 50 metres long - because of the strong response.
