After a legal struggle described as a David versus Goliath battle, two Australian surfers have helped halt a Chinese development accused of causing extensive environmental damage to a tropical island.
However, in late 2017 a Chinese developer leased the neighbouring piece of land and proceeded to trespass on their property, to cut down a third of the property’s trees and to dump construction equipment onto the property."We had a natural rainforest until they came along and cut half our trees down without us knowing," Mr Fox said. "I just felt disbelief. It was a horrible feeling inside.
"They [Mr Fox and Mr Jack] have put their life's savings into this and ended up next to a monster," Dr Chambers said.The country's environmental laws are adequate, the lawyer said, but enforcement is an issue.
