Merrin Pearse has stepped down as Chairman of Living Islands Movement (LIM) after seven incredible years. The 14-year Lantau resident relocated to New Zealand late last year, and has been succeeded by Louise Preston, as LIM’s Acting Chair.
LIM is a community-based organisation that aims to promote sustainable development on the outlying islands, with a focus on Lantau. Its volunteers work tirelessly to protect the islands both culturally and environmentally, and they are committed to working and co-operating with local residents, and governmental and non-governmental organisations to realise quality-of-life goals.
Ongoing issues of local concern include waste management, transport, parking, illegal dumping and landfill – and money raised through donations and membership fees goes directly into funding campaigns.
