Walk for Nature at Mai Po Nature Reserve is one of the most important areas for biodiversity in Hong Kong, with a rich and diverse array of birds and other wildlife. But none of this would be here were it not for its equally rich and diverse habitats. Six distinct habitat types – fishponds, freshwater ponds, reedbeds, gei wai, mangroves and mudflats – can be found within Mai Po, some with their own unique wildlife and all playing a vital role in sustaining local biodiversity.
