How can Children Become Involved in Wildlife Conservation?

We are very fortunate here in Hong Kong to have several rare species of wildlife living around us. Pink Dolphins immediately spring to mind and the Black Kite which circles Hong Kong skies. In a busy city like Hong Kong, people may think it is difficult to be involved in wildlife conservation. In fact, there are many ways one can support this cause. Why not help educate your little ones now? There are several nature reserves to visit here in Hong Kong for a fun and educational family day out.

Here are some suggestions how you and your child can become involved in helping to preserve Hong Kong’s diverse wildlife:
