Peter,
It is warming to see your turn around, along with the various environmental groups involved, on this the Chagos and Chagossian issue.
Looking ahead to the potential outcome at the European Court of Human Rights, what do you suggest (along with any Coral Listers who might have thoughts on this) to be the approach to integrating the resettling community in with the rich and expansive coral habitat of the Chagos Archipelago? Bearing in mind, of course, that this involves a returning settlement, not an existing one, and most everything would be required to be established essentially from scratch... including skills used toward living sustainably on the coral atoll island group. Many studies and projects have been done on the matter (with established communities). Acknowledging and assisting the stakeholders' connection with efforts to maintain and monitor the health of the coral reef environments seems to be an essential element in the process. Perhaps the environmental groups working along side the re-settling community would be beneficial to them and the Chagos as a whole.... I know that
there must be a good knowledge base to make the effort successful.
Any how, I look forward to contemplating potential scenarios as the apply to the Chagossians at Chagos.
Again, it is good to see the environmental groups acknowledge the Chagossians and their position in this way.
Thank you,
Regards,
David J. Evans
