保育行動：走進社區 鼓勵公眾參與

Conservation in Action: Spreading the Word and Getting People Involved

環保基金「垃雜灘」海岸清潔計劃
ECF ‘R’ Coast Cleaning

保育基金與香港婦聯合辦以學生和社區組織為對象的環保基金「垃雜灘」海岸清潔計劃，於過去
一年共舉行八個學校工作坊和兩次泥灘清潔活動，吸引逾一千八百名學生參加。其中，「海岸
清潔日」的參加者到下白泥泥灘收集垃圾，記錄並分析數據以評估污染對當地環境的影響。計劃
的參加者亦參與有關海洋保育的導賞團、講座和工作坊，認識更多海洋生態及即棄塑膠的回收
方法。

In collaboration with the Hong Kong Women Development Association, OPCFHK co-organised
the ECF ‘R’ Coast Cleaning Programme targeting students and community groups. With eight
in-school workshops and two mudflat clean-ups, over 1,800 students took part in activities
such as the Shorelines Clean-up Day, where they collected rubbish from the mudflat of Ha Pak
Nai, recorded and analysed data collected to determine the impact of pollution on the local
environment. Participants also attended guided tours and talks on marine conservation, and
various workshops to learn about marine ecology and ways to recycle disposable plastics.

「三地同心護海洋」聯合行動

Cross-border Coastal Clean-ups

保育基金聯同八十八個來自香港、中國內地和澳門目標一致的機構和組織，一同籌劃跨境
海岸清潔活動，以保育區內水域及海岸自然生態美。適逢二零一九年六月的「世界環境日」和
「世界海洋日」，各合辦機構與主辦單位上海仁渡海洋公益發展中心合作，成功在不同城市
舉行一百三十場清潔活動。
保育基金於二零一九年六月十七日在下白泥舉行泥灘清潔活動，與來自摩根士丹利的義工聯手於
一天內收集的垃圾合共超過五十公斤！這反映三地的過度消耗和棄置廢物不當的問題仍然非常
嚴峻，故此，我們希望跨境合作能鼓勵個人、政府、非政府組織及企業加强合作，以制訂更有效
的措施解決海洋污染問題。
As one of the 88 like-minded organisations across Hong Kong, mainland China and Macau,
OPCFHK participated in cross-border coastal clean-ups to conserve the natural beauty of the
region’s waters and shorelines. Coinciding with World Environment Day and World Oceans Day in
June 2019, the participating organisations conducted 130 clean-up events in their respective areas
in collaboration with the programme organiser – Shanghai Rendu Ocean NPO Development Centre.
OPCFHK held a mudflat clean-up at Ha Pak Nai in Hong Kong on 17 June 2019, with volunteers
from Morgan Stanley removing over 50kg of rubbish in a day! Overconsumption and inappropriate
waste disposal remain serious issues in the region. We hope to encourage individuals,
governments, NGOs and corporations across the border to work together and formulate stronger
measures to tackle marine pollution.

香港科學館生物多樣性工作坊
Biodiversity Workshops at the Hong Kong Science Museum

保育基金與香港科學館合作舉辦一系列工作坊，旨在提升公眾對生物多樣性的認識，並鼓勵公眾
從個人開始作出改變，減少對大自然的傷害。
過去一年，逾一千三百人參與十九個有關的工作坊，增加對鯨豚擱淺、馬蹄蟹保育，以及香港瘰螈
生態及生物學的了解。工作坊啟發不少參加者支持生態保育及在日常生活中以行動保護本港的
物種及牠們的棲息地。
OPCFHK organised a series of workshops in partnership with the Hong Kong Science Museum to
raise public awareness of the importance of biodiversity and encourage everyone to take action to
stop biodiversity loss.
Over 1,300 guests took part in 19 workshops to learn about cetacean stranding, horseshoe crab
conservation, and the ecology and biology of Hong Kong newts. The programme not only inspired
participants to support the cause, but also encouraged people to take action in daily life to protect
these species and their habitats in Hong Kong.
