Sustainable development workshop “Searching the Story of Nature”

10 representatives from our school participated in the “Searching the Story of Nature” workshop in the Tai Po Nature Reserve on 24 January 2009. Dr. Au from the center explained to students the concept of sustainable development and the Earth Charter. Mr. Wong Chi Chun, tutor from Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre, had briefing on biodiversity and the relationship between the man and the environment in the lecture.
In addition to lecture, students joined the field trip study in small groups to investigate the vegetation distribution and their adaptive features on natural and artificial slopes. This further helped students understand the human impact on natural environment.
