Entering the 1970s, residents of Sha Lo Tung successively moved away from their homes or emigrated to other countries, and the original rice fields gradually turned into marshland as no one cultivated them.
Since 1979, Sha Lo Tung Development Company Limited acquired villagers' private agricultural land, offering to build small houses for the sellers free of charge as a condition.
Sha Lo Tung Development Company Limited was incorporated on 31 October 1979, and subsequently acquired private land from villagers in Sha Lo Tung, Tai Po, promising to build small houses free of charge for those who sold their land.
Since the 1980s, the development and conservation of Sha Lo Tung has been the subject of a dispute involving a developer, villagers, the Hong Kong Government and environmental organisations.
In 1984, Sha Lo Tung Development Company Limited proposed to build a low-density residential area on 85 hectares of land in Sha Lo Tung, along with a golf course and country club.
Due to the attention and opposition of environmentalists, the plan was later substantially revised, and the original condition of building small houses free of charge was ultimately not fulfilled.
Macromia katae was recorded at Sha Lo Tung in the 1990s, being the first discovery in the world, and this record led to the site being recognised as an important dragonfly habitat in Hong Kong.
The Lands Department subsequently discussed the project details with Sha Lo Tung Development Company Limited, and the Country Parks Committee had also approved the proposal.
The above six organizations considered that Sha Lo Tung is located in a water gathering ground adjacent to a country park, and therefore did not support the Country Parks Authority's approval of the plan.
In 1991, six environmental organizations including Friends of the Earth (Hong Kong) and the Conservancy Association pointed out that Sha Lo Tung has high ecological value.
In 1991 the Country Parks Board approved the plan on two grounds: the site was remote from the main body of the country park, and the recreational facilities at Sha Lo Tung could be improved.
In April 1992, the judicial review brought by Friends of the Earth (Hong Kong) was heard by the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled that the Country and Marine Parks Authority's approval of the local development project of Sha Lo Tung Development Company Limited was unlawful.
On 13 April 1992, the approval given by the Country Parks Authority for the Sha Lo Tung development project was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court, which also granted an injunction.
The stream at Sha Lo Tung and the adjacent strips of about 30 metres on each side (including the marsh) were designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1997.
When Sha Lo Tung was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, 68 species of dragonflies were recorded there, while the total number of dragonfly species then found in Hong Kong was 106.
On 16 January 1997, the Agriculture and Fisheries Department designated the Sha Lo Tung stream and its two banks, covering about 22.1 hectares in total, as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
On 17 January 1997, the Agriculture and Fisheries Department designated the Sha Lo Tung stream and its banks, covering about 22.1 hectares, as a Site of Special Scientific Interest to enhance ecological conservation.
