To recover unique freshwater wetland through recognition and active conservation.
Sha Lo Tung is home to more than 80 species of dragonflies, which represent 60% of dragonfly species in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, with previous development pressure and continuous disturbance, wetland habitats in this “dragonfly paradise” need active management, such that the dragonfly fauna in the area can be conserved.
We are recruiting students from tertiary institutions to become “Dragonfly Surveyors”. Trained surveyors will assist in updating the dragonfly inventory of Sha Lo Tung, which helps to evaluate the progress of habitat succession and rehabilitation.
