Unesco warns Penang on swiftlet breeding shophouses
Centre director Francesco Bandarin said, in a letter dated Jan 14, the reports stated that there were 200 to 300 swiftlet farms in George Town.
These shophouses were sealed and continuously moistened to provide a conducive environment for the swiftlets, to the possible detriment of the building fabric.
Chow said the Penang Municipal Council had identified swiftlet farms run by 121 operators in 128 heritage buildings.
