Proposal for a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Support for Country Park Designation on Po Toi Island (revised edition Oct 2012).
蒲台島具特殊科學價值地點及郊野公園建議書 (2012年10月修訂)
This proposal is a detailed ecological report documenting the conservation value of Po Toi, important species and habitats and in particular the importance of Po Toi to migratory birds. It also request the government to designate Po Toi as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Country Park.
The 1st edition of this report was submitted to the Town Planning Board in May 2012 as our comment on the Po Toi Islands Development Permission Area Plan. As there are a number of new taxonomic changes and other kinds of new information, the HKBWS revised the report in October and submitted to the Chief Executive, Secretary for Environment and AFCD to urge for the designation of Po Toi Islands as Country Park.
Although it is not a perfect report, We believe that the report is the most comprehensive document about Po Toi's ecology to date and would be of great value to Scientists, decision-makers and of course nature lovers. We also believe that you will contribute to the future editions of this report, and thus the conservation of the unique island, by recording birds on Po Toi. HKBWS would also continue to co-operate with other Green Groups and experts to enrich the contents of the report.
Special thanks Geoff Welch who birded at Po Toi for years and compile all the records of birds at Po Toi and participated in the writing of this report, photographers who provided photos for the report, and MaoMorning who designed the logo for the Po Toi Campaign.

本建議書為蒲台島的詳盡生態報告，記錄了蒲台的保育價值、重要品種和生境，特別是蒲台島對遷徙鳥類的重要性，並要求於島上劃設特殊科學價值地點(SSSI)及郊野公園。
此報告初版於2012年5月提交予城規會作為本會對蒲台群島發展審批地區草圖的意見書，有鑑近期在雀鳥分類學上及其他範疇的新資料，本會於十月修訂報告，並提交往行政長官、環境局局長及漁農自然護理署再次要求將蒲台群島納入郊野公園。
雖然本報告仍未能盡善盡美，但我們相信此報告是現今最詳盡描述蒲台生態的刊物，對科學家、決策者以至一般的自然愛好者都有珍貴參考價值。我們亦相信大家將來會繼續透過記錄蒲台島的雀鳥，更新這份報告，為保育這個獨一無二小島作出貢獻。本會亦會繼續與其他環保團體和專家合作，豐富報告的內容。
此報告有賴會員及鳥友的支持和提交雀鳥記錄才能完成。本會特別感謝Geoff Welch在蒲台觀察及整理多年來的雀鳥記錄以及參與撰寫本報告，以及各位提供相片的攝影師，還有為蒲台行動設計logo的貓魔鈴小姐。
由於資源所限，本會暫未能為這份近六十頁的報告作中文翻譯，謹此致歉。
