Regular guided tours are conducted for residents and their guests • Wetland Seasons Bay: over 1,500 trees and 250,000 bushes of native species were planted • Sai Sha Development Project: planted more than 3,000 trees of native species, integrated over 187,000 m 2 green spaces, parks and gardens to enhance wildlife habitats; built a water pool and bird nesting boxes to provide breeding and roosting habitats for amphibians and wildlife • Tung Shing Lei Development Project: incorporated a water feature that creates a natural habitat and ecosystem services for aquatic species Offset any adverse impacts Restore biodiversity and ecosystems affected by our business activities To evaluate the potential impact of our construction activities, we engage external consultants to conduct thorough environmental and biodiversity risk assessments. Such assessments cover Wetland Seasons Park, PARK YOHO, Sai Sha and Tung Shing Lei Development Projects, and we developed management plans to minimize any potential impacts to the surroundings. During the reporting year, no significant risks related to biodiversity across our operations were identified. PARK YOHO Sai Sha Development Project We prioritize tree conservation and implement horticultural maintenance and management plan. This year, Hong Yip standardized management based on the Tree Management Office and Property Management Services Authority Best Practice Guides. Initiated by Hong Yip Horticultural Committee, monthly health assessments of the trees in our areas are stipulated. The trees are then categorized into risks indices. Before rainy seasons, we trim the trees to prevent excessive growth, fungal infections and pest infestations, ultimately reducing the likelihood of falling. Enhanced inspections are conducted after typhoons and storms to promptly identify and address any damage.
