Act NOW! Speak for the Sea!

The government recently launched a public engagement exercise on "Enhancing Land Strategy", casually recommending reclamation as a solution to Hong Kong's land shortage. It lists 25 possible reclamation sites, including some of our most valuable ecologically important areas.

WWF believes reclamation should only be carried out as a last resort, as it is incredibly damaging to the environment and irreversible. We are deeply concerned about the use of reclamation to increase land supply without fully exploring other options, such as optimising redevelopment of old urban areas and better use of land resources. WWF objects to the proposal of reclaiming the sea just to enhance land supply without thorough planning.

YOU can speak for the sea by participating in the public engagement exercise. Click here to make sure your voice is heard by the government.

Our sea can't speak, but you can!

WWF's efforts are a success! Endangered Black-faced spoonbills love the restored habitat in Mai Po

Last summer, WWF embarked on a major two-year project to restore the wetland habitat for Black-faced spoonbills in the Mai Po Nature Reserve, and the results for the first phase are remarkable. We recorded 332 spoonbills by 14 January, which is the second-highest number on record for this globally-endangered species wintering in Mai Po since 2007. Click here to see our work on it.

All this could not have happened without the support of the funds raised thanks to the Big Bird Race — WWF's flagship fundraising event for the Mai Po Nature Reserve. You can help support Mai Po and preserve its status as a Ramsar Site by donating to this year's BBR — a great cause to support!
