Kadoorie Farm: Urban construction did not consider the potential negative impacts on wildlife
The farm pointed out that many infrastructure designs in Hong Kong did not consider the potential negative impacts on local wildlife. Among them, roadside railings, water channels, roads and railway tracks divide the countryside and hinder the movement of wildlife from forest to forest. Passages, these buildings may also trap wild animals that trespass by mistake.
In the worst case, just like the wild boar involved this time, the building itself has caused direct damage to it.
The farm believes that as long as the design of the relevant building is slightly changed and the building will always interact with wild animals, similar incidents will be avoided.
The farm continues to point out that many countries have installed special bridges, underground passages and fence passages for wild animals. Hong Kong can be nature-based and imitate international practices.
