Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>CMC) \u2013 Former Governor the Cayman Islands, Michael Edward John Gore, who served from 1992 to 1995, has died. He was 86.<\/p>\n

Cayman Islands is a British Overseas territory.<\/p>\n

Both Premier Wayne Panton and Governor Martyn Roper released statements saying they were saddened to hear of his passing and offering condolences.<\/p>\n

Panton said Gore was a dear friend to the Cayman Islands who in his first throne speech had described it as one of the more fortunate countries in the world.<\/p>\n

In honour of the life of Gore, the Cayman Islands flag and the Union Jack were flown half-mast throughout Friday, and this will be repeated the day of his funeral, or the Friday before if that takes place during a weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contributions of Governor Gore to our country are immense and we remember him when we observe the Governor Michael Gore Bird Sanctuary, which contains the freshwater marshes of the Spotts-Newlands area, which is a roosting and breeding habitat for several freshwater bird<\/p>\n

species,\u201d Panton said.<\/p>\n

Roper also referenced Gore’s passion for the environment and biodiversity, noting that he was a keen birder.<\/p>\n

Gore wrote books on the birds of Korea, Uruguay and The Gambia. He also wrote numerous articles on conservation, illustrated with his own photographs of wildlife.<\/p>\n

During his diplomatic career he served in Malaysia, Korea, Uruguay (during the Tupamaro uprising) and in four countries in Africa.<\/p>\n

As ambassador, he experienced the civil war in Liberia before coming to the Caribbean, first as high commissioner to the Bahamas and then to the Cayman Islands as governor, his final post.<\/p>\n
