Eco-Protectors Programme Summary 2010 was the International Year of Biodiversity.

Eco-Protectors is a tree planting programme aiming at promoting local biodiversity in schools, enhance the knowledge and concern to biodiversity among students through planting local native plants. During October 2010 and February 2011, participating schools reserved an area in their campus and planted local native plants there.

Furthermore, students had field trips to different habitats to get to know more about our habitats and biodiversity. Those field visits were conducted in Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, a rather mature secondary forest; Long Valley, the largest agricultural wetland in Hong Kong; and Nam Sang Wai, an important habitat for migratory birds. |
