黃竹洋 Wong Chuk Yeung

生境 Habitats

地點介紹 Site Description

黃竹洋位於西貢東,是一塊被馬鞍山郊野公園圍繞的「不包括土地」。主要生境為風水林(約600平方米)淡水溪流及濕地。環保組織綠色力量指出黃竹洋村逾七成土地已被發展商收購,其自然環境面臨丁屋發展的隱憂。2012年當地溪邊的成熟次生林更非法被人鏟平,謀求發展,當中更涉及官地。

Wong Chuk Yeung is located in the eastern Sai Kung. It is an enclave surrounded by Ma On Shan Country Park. The major habitats are Feng Shui woodland (around 600 m2) and freshwater wetland. Green Power, an environmental group, claimed that over 70 percent of the land has been acquired by developers and development of New Territories Small Houses is an underlying threat to its natural environment. In 2012, a piece of mature secondary forest was illegally chopped down for development. Even government land was involved in this case.
