Press Release: Tai Lam Country Park Ranks Top for Butterfly Species
Press Release 19 October 2017 Tai Lam Country Park Ranks Top for Butterfly Species Total and Rarities Green Group Calls for Withdrawal of Development Plan Green Power announced the latest results of the Butterfly Survey. The survey currently covers 11 butterfly hotspots, and was carried out from June to October this year. A total of 172 species were recorded, accounting for around 65% of the total number of butterfly species in Hong Kong. Among all butterfly hotspots, Tai Lam Country Park ranked top for total species and numbers of rare species, indicating the site is very rich in butterflies. Mr. Matthew Sin, Senior Environmental Affairs Manager of Green Power, urged the government to withdraw the plan for developing the periphery of Tai Lam Country Park. A total of 127 butterfly species were recorded at Tai Lam Country Park, accounting for nearly half of the total in Hong Kong. This included 9 very rare species, 14 rare species and 4 unclassified species. Matthew remarked that the butterfly ecology at the site is surprisingly rich. "Since 2008 when we started our butterfly surveys, we have only recorded over 120 species at 4 hotspots for one or two years. Tai Lam Country Park is a new site for our monitoring this year. In about seven months, taking into account the preliminary survey in April and May, we have already recorded such a high number of species. This is amazing!" Matthew pointed out that the result also reflected the rich diversity of vegetation at the periphery of Tai Lam Country Park. For example, some butterflies recorded at Tai Lam Country Park – Peacock Royal (Tajuria cippus) and Gaudy Baron (Euthalia lubentina) – both have larvae that feed on the plant species Witches' Broom (Scurrula parasitica); and the caterpillars of Falcate Oak Blue (Mahathala ameria) feed on Creepy Mallotus (Mallotus repandus).

Paper No. 11/2017
For discussion on Task Force on Land Supply 5 December 2017 Paper No. 11/2017 TASK FORCE ON LAND SUPPLY Developing Country Parks PURPOSE This paper provides Members with some relevant background information and suggests some possible perspectives as the Task Force, and later the community, examines this question of whether certain areas in our country parks could be regarded as a source of land supply for meeting Hong Kong’s housing and other needs. BACKGROUND History of Country Parks and Process of Designation 2. For effective protection of the countryside in Hong Kong as well as the provision of proper venues for outdoor activities, the Country Park Ordinance (Cap. 208) was enacted in 1976 to provide a legal framework for designation, development and management of country parks and special areas. Since the designation of the first batch of country parks in 1977, which included Shing Mun, Kam Shan and Lion Rock, a total of 24 country parks and 22 special areas, amounting to 44 312 hectares (ha), have been designated and put under statutory protection under Cap. 208. Statistically, country parks constitute the largest component of the 84 100 ha of non-built up area of Hong Kong. The current distribution of country parks and special areas across the territory is at Annex A. 3. Country parks and special areas are designated in accordance with statutory procedures as laid down in Cap. 208. Prior to invoking the relevant statutory procedures, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) will assess the suitability of a potential site for designation as a new country park or incorporation into an existing country park, according to the established criteria which include conservation value, landscape and aesthetic value, as well as recreation potential.

DC Paper No. 8/2014 (For discussion on 25 February 2014) Progress Report of the Traffic and Transport Committee The first meeting of the Traffic and Transport Committee (T&TC) in 2014 was held on 23 January 2014. The major issues discussed are summarised below: Industrial accidents relating to the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) 2. Members had concern about details of the safety measures taken by the Government, MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC) and the contractor in respect of the construction of Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL), including occupational safety seminars and health checks provided for workers, number of resident site safety officers, work environment inside tunnel sites such as air quality, as well as lunch breaks and rest periods for workers. 3. The representative of the Railway Development Office (RDO), Highways Department (HyD) emphasized that occupational safety was the primary concern of the Government, MTRC and the contractor. He reiterated that MTRC and the contractor had devoted many resources for the purpose. Various government departments including RDO would monitor the situation through regular meetings, inspections and reporting. Furthermore, independent works consultants had been engaged to check whether the safety measures were adequate and effective. 4. The representative of MTRC responded that MTRC would ensure the safety of XRL construction works by a three-pronged approach: firstly, formulate a series of safety standards and measures with the contractor and perform monitoring through daily site inspection. Secondly, request the contractor to provide a suitable and safe working environment and thirdly, enhance workers’ awareness of occupational safety through organising various activities and publicity plans.

The Proposal
THE PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION The Mountain Biking Explosion The exponential growth of recreational and sporting off road mountain bike riding is worldwide. Both cross country and Downhill Mountain Biking are established as Olympic events; the demand will con- tinue to increase. Locally The Hong Kong Magazine for August carried an article on mountain biking in Hong Kong, which only further fuels demand. Companies recruiting expatriates cite mountain biking and refer candidates to the HKMBA website as evidence that Hong Kong is a “cool” city to live. And in the latest Action Asia magazine there are three separate articles about mountain biking. Mountain Biking is a growing sport across the world, the bicycle industry in 2008 in the USA is a $6 billion industry, includ- ing the retail value of bicycles, related parts, and accessories according to research funded by the USA National Sporting Goods Association. Ironically the majority of bicycles, components and accessories are manufactured in China, and in Taiwan and Japan. Hong Kong’s bike shops are amongst the best in the world, when a new bike or component is manufac- tured it is usual to find it in a Hong Kong bike shop ahead of anywhere else. This is because most bikes and components are manufactured within the region and the Hong Kong bicycle enthusiast is one of the most discerning. Bicycle shops in other countries tend to carry minimum stock and will custom order Unfortunately for mountain biking cycling in the country parks falls under the authority of the AFCD. depending on requests by individual customers; recently online retailers overseas have filled this void by Whilst AFCD is no doubt qualified to fulfil their other responsibilities in the area of recreational use of offering huge catalogues and overnight delivery.

Since 2003, new lines have been added to the network with the 1rnt1al phase of West Rail which 1s covered in this special issue of The Arup Journal followed in 2004 by the extensions for East Rail on Ma On Shan Rail and the Ts1m Sha Tsu, Extension. Our projects for these lines, together with our involvement in the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, will be covered in a further special issue of The Arup Journal. Arup has played a very significant role in the design and provision of many specialist inputs as well as construction superv1s1on in all of these proJects and I am pleased that this special issue has been devoted to recording our achievements on West Rail Andrew Chan Chairman, Arup East Asia Region The Arup Journal 3/2006 3 Introduction Arup and thE3 In 1863 plans were proposed to link Peking (now Beijing), Tientsin, Shanghai, Hankow, and Canton (now Guangzhou) by a rail network.
