Home > Online Sharings Day and Night in Lantau
大嶼山的日與夜

About the sharing

Lantau is the largest island in Hong Kong and has an impressive variety of habitats such as secondary forests, streams, freshwater marshes, mangroves, sea grass beds, etc. It is the home to a wide range of plants and animals, while 70% of land in Lantau has already been designated as country parks. This online sharing session will offer a meaningful introduction to biodiversity concepts to participants, and use Lantau as a case study to explore its wonders of wildlife, its conservation significance, and the way forward.

大嶼山是香港最大的島嶼,擁有多元的自然生境,包括次生林、河溪、淡水沼澤、紅樹林、海草床等等。加上其約七成的土地受郊野公園保護,富於生物多樣性,是眾多動植物的家園。這次的網上分享將深入淺出地介紹生物多樣性的基本概念,並以大嶼山作為實例,為大家展現大嶼生態的日與夜,以及其保育價值和願景。
