野外生態保育大學生贊助計劃：啟發新一代保育人才


         University Student Sponsorship Programme in Wildlife Conservation:
         Inspiring the Next Generation of Conservationists


         保育基金於二零零五年推出「野外生態保育大學生
         贊助計劃」（USSP），提供機會予年青人親身參與
         前線保育工作，從而鼓勵他們投身保育行業。此計劃
         更連繫本地和海外專家，以及香港學生，促進相互
         知識交流，並啟發參與的大學生透過紀錄片、講座、
         保育項目及傳媒訪問等途徑，向大眾宣揚環境保護
         的訊息。
         在二零一八至一九年度，USSP 資助三十五名來自
         七間本地大學的學生，參加十三個考察團，分別
         前往中國內地、印尼、馬來西亞、菲律賓及越南等
         亞洲國家和地區，對十種面臨絕種威脅的物種進行
         研究，包括長冠八哥、越南大蝸牛、棘腹蛙、大熊貓、
         綠海龜、儒艮及多種鯨豚類動物。

         外地考察後亦成功透過學校講座、教學工作紙、社區                       in-the-field conservation work. The programme brings together a
         教育攤位及生態導賞團，向大眾分享他們的考察見聞                       network of local and overseas professionals to facilitate knowledge
