The Hong Kong Birdwatching Society is requesting assistance in a campaign to stop a planned railway to run through Long Valley in the New Territories of Hong Kong.
Long Valley is the last example of the once extensive flood plains in the northern New Territories.
The area contains a diversity of micro-habitats which allow it support a diversity of birds. More than 200 bird species have been recorded here. The area is effectively the last place where wet agriculture is practised in Hong Kong and so carries a particular heritage value in addition to its biodiversity value.
