代表我們的成員,香港戶外學習協會(HKOLA)亦致函農漁自然護理署,提出我們的請求以供考慮。
"Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing on behalf of the Hong Kong Outdoor Learning Association to share our views regarding the public consultation on updating the Hong Kong Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP).
Our association is dedicated to supporting organizations and professionals in taking the youth of Hong Kong into nature. Through these experiences, young people not only learn about the environment and wildlife of Hong Kong but also develop a meaningful connection to it. In light of this, we request the government consider the following urgent actions:
1. Halt further habitat loss (farmland, wetland, woodland, and sea) and enhance protection for existing important habitats.
2. Restore degraded or lost habitats (e.g., lowland streams, woodlands, and wetlands).
3. Mainstream biodiversity considerations across various sectors, particularly in works and development.
4. Enhance local and cross-boundary ecological corridors and habitat networks through the provision of greenways and wildlife corridors.
Furthermore, it is vital to highlight the importance of outdoor and environmental education in nurturing a lasting commitment to Hong Kong's natural surroundings among young people. By investing in meaningful outdoor experiences, we empower the next generation—future decision-makers, academics, and professionals—with the knowledge and passion to advocate for biodiversity. These young individuals will be instrumental in shaping policies and practices that prioritize environmental sustainability.
Therefore, I urge the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) to strengthen support for outdoor education initiatives, viewing this as a crucial investment in the future of our biodiversity and the health of our ecosystems.
Thank you for considering our views.
Sincerely,
David Addis
Director
Hong Kong Outdoor Learning Association"
