Founded in 1988 by a group of volunteers concerned about local environmental affairs; promoting environmental education
We believe
education is the ultimate means of transforming our thinking and behaviour. We
focus on local ecological conservation and global environmental issues – ranging
from those affecting species, to entire habitats and the world's environment.
Hong Kong's per
capita daily carbon emissions are 50% higher than the world average for
developed cities. Hong Kong citizens have responsibility for mitigating global
warming and we are committed to promoting low carbon living and working together
to slow the warming of our planet.
We have
projects focusing on butterflies and trees, including surveys, guided tours,
educational promotions, publications, tree planting and establishing Butterfly
Gardens and Tree Trails in the community and schools. We focus on butterfly
hotspots and natural woods in Hong Kong. We promote river conservation through
highlighting one river each year. Over 160 species of fish and 110 species of
dragonflies can be found in local rivers. Rivers are also the cornerstone of
society, culture and economic development.
