Through ECF Discovering South Lantau Invertebrates – Search in Lantau, OWLHK encourages the public to actively explore freshwater habitat and local ecology. Mr. Liu and students from HKFEW Wong Cho Bau Secondary School joined the contest and was carrying out their insect & invertebrates survey in Tung Chung. We hope to arouse public awareness and encourage community participation in exploring nature.
Being a member of the global village, environmental education should be integrated into daily life. However, like what Hong Kong environmental education expert Dr. Xoni Ma has said, environmental education does not receive much attention in Hong Kong. Comparing to Taiwan, we can definitely do more and better.
Dr. Xoni Ma understands the importance of education from his great teachers in secondary schools. His passion in environmental protection guides him to a direction for studying ecology and biodiversity as his major, and lastly obtained a PhD in environmental education, and pushing EE development in Hong Kong.
