Sha Lo Tung Analysis

However, Sha To Lung’s environmental quality has been declining due to various human activities and mismanagement. As a site with a special scientific value, its ecological value was ranked second only to Mai Po, but this place was not protected by the same protection. According to the report of the Conservancy Association (March 2, 2016), in the 1990s, the development of golf courses hit the reef due to judicial review. In 2001, 120 low-density residential developments ended due to a veto by the Town Planning Board.
