4th International Butterfly Conference:
Nature Built Environment
Point-Line-Surface
Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve celebrates its 20th anniversary. Following the earlier anniversary celebration held in Lam Tsuen, the 4th International Conference on Butterfly Ecology and Conservation will be held by our organization on June 22nd. We have been dedicated to conservation efforts, aiming to provide better habitats for butterflies and other species. Furthermore, we frequently exchange knowledge and maintain contacts with scholars from different regions, hoping to gather valuable experiences and enrich the biodiversity in Hong Kong. Over the past twenty years, we have established a butterfly conservation-friendly network with Europe and various Asian countries.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary and promote butterfly conservation messages to the public, our organization will once again hold the International Conference on Butterfly Ecology and Conservation. The theme of this conference will focus on "Nature Build Environment Point-Line-Surface" Our organization has been actively constructing ecological butterfly gardens in communities, with the hope of connecting different ecological points to form lines and eventually create a surface covering Hong Kong. We also aim to expand this concept to different regions. Therefore, scholars from Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, and the United Kingdom are invited to share their experiences in butterfly conservation and research on this significant topic. We welcome individuals from all walks of life who are interested in nature and butterfly conservation to participate.
