黃泥涌峽 Wong Nai Chung Gap

生境 Habitats

地點介紹 Site Description

黃泥涌峽位於港島中部,跑地馬和深水灣之間,有多條溪流匯聚,有不少較少見的植物。靠近海邊的山谷位置冬天有斑蝶群聚過冬。可是近年食環署在該處搬動溪石,拉直溪澗,誤以為如此可清除蚊,事實上卻嚴重影響溪流生態。

Wong Nai Chung Gap is between Happy Valley and Sham Wan, in the central part of Hong Kong Island. There are a number of streams converging. Many uncommon plants occur in the valley below. Some crow butterflies also overwinter in the valley in large numbers. But in recent years, FEHD moved the streamside rocks to in an attempt to get rid of mosquitos. Rather than achieving this goal, the act instead severely impacted the natural stream and its organisms.
