Biodiversity in Hong Kong - Our nature neighbors (21Jan)
Do you know what kind of wildlife can be found in Hong Kong?

Thousands of square kilometres of rugged coastline, mountain ranges and country parks make Hong Kong home to a wide range of wildlife.

This workshop will cover the following topics for you to gain a well understanding on our precious biodiversity.
- Overview of Hong Kong Biodiversity

- Policy of biodiversity protection in Hong Kong
