停止餵飼野生動物計劃：改變公眾的看法

Don’t Feed Wild Animals: Changing Public Perception

過去多年，香港的猴子和野豬數量上升，加劇人類與
野生動物之間的衝突。為緩減這個問題，保育基金與
漁農自然護理署（漁護署）合作開展「停止餵飼野生
動物」計劃，教育遊人有關公眾餵飼野生動物的負面
後果。此計劃致力向公眾推廣保育野生動物的正確
態度，以及預防野生動物滋擾的有效措施。
保育基金感謝一百一十名熱心義工在過去一年與我們
一同在金山郊野公園設置教育攤位，透過派發宣傳
單張、展板、介紹資訊、生態導賞和問卷調查教導
公眾了解遇見野生動物時應有的態度和與行為。

在二零一八至一九年度，此計劃共舉辦六十場教育
攤位及多個免費生態導賞團，吸引逾一萬三千人
參與。 Human-wildlife conflicts arising from the increased population of
monkeys and wild pigs have been a persistent issue in Hong Kong
over the years. To mitigate the issue, OPCFHK organised the Don’t
Feed Wild Animals programme in collaboration with the Agriculture,
Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) to educate the
public on the negative consequences of feeding wild animals. The
programme promoted why it is not recommended to feed wild
animals from the conservation point of view, as well as preventive
measures against nuisance caused by monkeys and wild pigs.
Thanks to the joint effort of 110 enthusiastic volunteers, OPCFHK
operated an educational booth in Kam Shan Country Park to
promote the code of practice for wild animal encounters via leaflets,
interpretative panels, narrations, ecotours and questionnaires.
Featuring 60 days of education outreach with a series of free guided
ecotours, the programme reached over 13,000 people in 2018/19.
