Wu Kau Tang is in northeastern New Territories. It is surrounded by Plover Cove Country Park and ranks the seventh in List of Priority Sites for Enhanced Conservation by AFCD. The major habitats are farmland, Feng Shui woodland, freshwater marsh and freshwater stream. High species richness of butterflies (137 species) and the endemic Hong Kong Paradise fish (Macropodus hongkongensis) have been recorded. Wu Kau Tang, however, is a country park enclave and is susceptible to threats from development.
