The HKSAR Government has recently released an invitation to the general public to submit their views for the updating of the Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP).
In response to the Public Consultation on Hong Kong’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP), EMAHK welcomes the Government’s effort in reviewing and updating the last BSAP, aligning Hong Kong’s city-level BSAP with the key principles of China’s National BSAP (NBSAP) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) at the international level. We also support the four strategic focus areas identified by the Government that guide the next phase of the BASP, namely (i) nature conservation, (ii) deepening mainstreaming, (iii) capacity building, and (iv) collaborative partnering.

🎬 Come join us for a screening of the Hong Kong documentary Fallen Treasures (木送) that was in the official selection at the 2024 Hong Kong Asian Film Festival https://lnkd.in/gBRMdsSa
Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber, a family owned business established since 1948, also known as the last sawmill in Hong Kong, had moved to Kwu Tung in the 80’s in witness of the urban development of Hong Kong throughout the past decades. Its factory was demolished in 2022 due to land resumption by the Government to make way for development of the Northern Metropolis. Well known to local carpenters and artists who worked with timber and recycled wood, the film recorded the last days of this local industry and the connections with the community. It also evokes thoughts about planning & development, land use, recycling industry, sustainable development, local industry, incubation of craftsmanship and arts. 🔨
🎤 The participants can join the sharing session with the director of the film afterwards. Don’t miss the chance!
