A marine park at Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau has been set up to protect this species.

World population estimated at 660! Nest at Korea and northest China. Winter at Japan, Taiwan, HK, Macau, and north Vietnam. About 138 – 152 winter at Mai Po in the last few years. Greater Painted Snipe 彩 鷸 A locally important species. Two sites (nesting) found in HK, one at Kam Tin, now pretty much trashed various projects including the West Rail. The other one at Long Valley Examples 3. White-bellied Sea Eagle 白腹海鵰 - Regionally important. About ten pairs
