Long Valley is an agricultural freshwater wetland, which is also a local biodiversity hotspot especially for birds, that was threatened several years ago by the development of a new KCR spurline. Hong Kong green groups, citizens and others all rallied together to stop this development and urge the government to instead find a way to conserve the last and largest remaining such wetland in Hong Kong. It worked and a portion of the New Nature Conservation Policy gave options for protection. Another source of funds came from the Sustainable Development Unit.
CA won funding from both these sources, resulting in the Sustainable Habitat Management for Long Valley and the Action Model for Sustainable Development in Long Valley. The crux of these projects is to foster sustainable development in Long Valley through habitat conservation, ecoguide training and a shift to organic farming. These three work together to address the core issues of sustainable development at the intersection of the social, economic and environmental.
