The List of the Great and the Good who publicly support the project
include HRH The Princess Royal; Sir David Attenborough; Sir Neil
Cossons; Sir Simon Jenkins; The World Monuments Fund; The governments
of the UK, New Zealand and Norway; the Getty Trust; the Garfield Weston
Trust. etc. Unfortunately, it makes no difference how many
'supporters' are listed as backing the project when the project can
clearly be shown to be irrational, on the Trust's own premises. Such
assertions of popularity are a classic form of Argumentum ad Populum
and Argumentum ad Verecundiam and do nothing to make the case for the
coherence of the current conservation plans.
