Mai Po Nature Reserve – ‘Really wet and wonderful’
The wetlands surrounding Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay in the north-western
part of Hong Kong, are renowned as a haven for both migratory and wintering
waterbirds, as well as a refuge for a diversity of other wildlife.
In 1984, WWF Hong Kong began to carry out active management inside
the Nature Reserve for environmental education and conservation purposes
and today, it has become a centre for wetland education, research and
monitoring, a practical example of wetland conservation and management.

WWF is now recruiting volunteers and volunteer leaders to help us manage
and conserve the wetland inside Mai Po Nature Reserve. This will give
