Join us for an enlightening talk on enhancing local biodiversity and conservation efforts as we explore past projects, challenges faced, and future directions with Professor Jerome Hui. The experiences of practitioners in the local butterfly conservation project at Fung Yuen, Tai Po, will also be shared by Dr Yau Wing Kwong. We will study the topic with a series of past projects on local biodiversity conservation, the challenges encountered, and how they could be overcome. The talk will also discuss on what the government has done thus far and make suggestions for future projects. This talk is highly relevant to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land) and SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals).
