Other than everything else wrong with this ad. Why is there an assumption that only HE can do the job? Why are ads only for Men? Especially those whose experience of Marine ecology is zilch! This is a deliberately confrontational route being taken through #PIDA. #SaveOurIslands

Why are #PresidentialOrdinances being issued. Why are there Assemblies. What is the urgency in 'developing' these islands, bulldozing the wishes of the inhabitants. Why is the @SindhGovt1 not responding to concerns, reservations & protests of civil society. #SaveOurIslands

The fragile coast has already been vandalized by commercial greed. ENOUGH! We are a #ClimateChange vulnerable country. @WWFPak & #IUCN Pakistan had already expressed reservations in the past when #Bundal island 'development' was planned. Why are they being ignored #SaveOurIslands

What us the role of @MoCCPak in all of this. Why have we heard nothing in favour of this from any expert group? Because there is nothing positive to say! @aminattock @naheedsd_shah @WWFPak @ShehriCBE @UrbanPlannerNED @nha3383 @EmmayeSyed @atsheikh @murtazawahab1 @murtazasolangi
