Lying in the transition zone between the tropical and temperate regions, Hong Kong has a diverse ecological environment with forests, shrublands, grasslands, streams, seas, and wetlands, nurturing a wide range of wildlife. However, our precious local ecological environment is facing threats. Learning about our local ecology can build a foundation for biodiversity conservation and environmental management.

 

香港位處熱帶和溫帶之間,擁有多元的生態環境如樹林、灌叢、草坡、河溪、海洋和濕地等,為林林總總的生物提供了棲息和生長的地方,可是本港珍貴的生態環境正面對威脅,認識本地生態可以為生物多樣性保育和環境管理打好基礎。

 

“Introduction to Local Ecology” is one of the four modules of the “Certificate in Sustainable Communities” programme. This course introduces the basic concepts in ecology, the ecology of Hong Kong and the interrelationships between ecology and other disciplines. The course will further discuss some pressing ecological issues and review the effectiveness of current conservation measures. Practical ecological conservation and assessment methods will be introduced and students will develop basic skills in conducting biodiversity survey through fieldwork.

 

「本地生態概覽」課程是「永續社區證書」四個單元之一。本課程主要介紹生態學的基本概念、香港的生態以及生態學與其他學科的相互關係,進而討論一些迫切的生態議題,審視現行保育措施的成效,並介紹實用的生態保育及評估方法,讓學生透過實地考察,掌握生物多樣性調研的關鍵技能。
