while motivating people to act to conserve our natural environment.
Our conservation priorities include:

Kong's threatened marine environment, together we have been instrumental
in the establishment of Hong Kong's first marine parks and reserves.

of conservation policies.
- providing support to the monitoring of both the legal and illegal
trade in threatened plant and animal species and their by-products.
