annual review 2006-2007 3

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was burdened with the gift of prophesying tragedies that would befall Troy, without being able to do anything to forestall them. As a

conservationist, I can empathise. It is not easy, nor agreeable, to be the constant bringer of

bad tidings. But such is the state of the natural world today that all conservationists are burdened with this role and carry a responsibility to fulfi ll it. Th e alarming acceleration in the disappearance of wild nature, and the impact this will have on the health of our planet, introduce a burning sense of urgency.

My parents were born into a world whose population was one-third what it is today. Th reats to wild nature were only just beginning to be felt. Today, when I witness the disappearance of wild habitat, extinction of species, diminution of biodiversity, growing pollution and the eff ect on climate from man-made activities which threaten the very existence of human civilisation, I am not only alarmed by the speed at which this has all occurred, but also fi lled with a sense of foreboding about the continued acceleration of these changes and the world that my children will inherit.

Awareness of environmental and conservation issues has risen remarkably over the last few years, especially among the young. What is not yet so evident is a sense of urgency. We no longer have the luxury of waiting a generation or two for change to occur. If our children are to inherit a healthy planet in which

保護環境刻不容緩It’s time to makea difference

4 annual review 2006-2007

The ecological problems that we face, as citizens of Hong Kong or citizens of the planet, may seem insurmountable. Increasing pollution in the rivers, lakes and seas. Forests

disappearing. Never ending haze. Climate change. The death of many species.

How can I make a difference? It’s a question that many people ask as they hear the growing tide of bad news. It may seem impossible for one person.

But you count. Your voice and your choices mean something.

無論是作為香港市民還是棲居地球的人類，我們現正面

對的生態問題似乎多得難以解決：河流、湖泊和海洋

的水質污染問題持續惡化、森林逐漸消失、煙霞驅而

不散、氣候不斷變化、物種一一絕跡等等。

我又怎可令情況有所改善？許多人聽到排山倒海的環境問題

後，心裡都會有這個疑問。當然，單靠一個人的力量，是無法解決

以上種種問題的。

不過，你的支持和參與是絕不可少的；你的意見和選擇能有助解

決問題。關掉冷氣、多走路、少坐車、少吃肉和海鮮等等，都可改善

情況。最重要的是，當有一個人帶頭行動，其他人就會相繼跟隨了。

成為世界自然基金會香港分會的會員不單是支持保護香港環境

一個有效方法，亦是表現你對解決全球環境問題的承擔。

有賴本會個人和公司會員的捐助，我們才得以推動保育項目；

而缺少了香港市民的支持，我們無法向政府施壓，要求政府更負責

任地對待這個大家共同擁有的環境。

「反對在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站」這個項目便是一個很

好的例子：本會共收到20,000個市民的簽名，支持保護香港境內中

華白海豚僅有的生境。該項目得到會員大力支持，令本會各員工感

到非常振奮。我們很高興能看到會員能挺身而出，表達自己的意

見。這次大家能同心合力為保護環境保護出一分力，對本會有深遠

的意義，希望你亦有同感。

世界各地終於察覺到環境遭受的破壞，其影響不再只是茶餘飯

後的話題，它已引起傳媒的關注。普羅大眾已發現環境正在惡化，

氣溫上升、不尋常天氣狀況只是問題的冰山一角。污染物籠罩香港

上空，每況愈下，全球暖化問題愈趨嚴重，豈容我們忽視。

與此同時，本會正透過教導大眾如何作出明智抉擇，鼓勵公司及

政府採取支持保護環境的行動，希望環保問題能有所改善。正如本

年報所述，本會所進行的工作應是一個負責任的政府所需要做的。

Turning off air conditioners, walking instead of driving, eating less meat and seafood – these things have an impact. And when one person takes the lead, others inevitably follow.

Being a member of WWF Hong Kong is a powerful way to help the cause of preserving Hong Kong’s environment, as well as contributing to the global effort for positive change.

WWF’s individual and corporate members make what we do possible. Without the support of the Hong Kong public, we would not be able to put pressure on the government to act more

氣候變化 climate change[ ]


In the last few years, humanity has at last become aware of the incredible challenge posed by greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting changes in Earth’s climate. Th e

problems are huge. Humanity derives almost all of its energy for economic activity by burning fossil fuels – the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists have demonstrated the connection between those emissions and climate change.

More importantly, the average person is beginning to feel the

在過去一年，世界自然基金會香港分會著手處理這個問題，並

特別著重發揮香港的優勢。於回顧期末（2007年6月），多個項目

正處於籌備階段，並計劃在2007年第四季起逐一正式開展推出。

氣候變化 climate change[ ]獲得的資助

氣候變化是本會五個保育範疇中最新的一個，而靠賴國泰航空有限

本會的碳足印計算器及低碳生活項目得到豐銀行慈善基金提

供主要成立資金，而Climate Witness項目亦得到惠普贊助成立。

太古集團已同意在未來五年透過其慈善信託基金，贊助本會推

有了這些捐款，本會便可順利推行長遠和有效的策略，處理與

氣候變化及空氣污染相關的問題了。

制定策略

氣候項目首先考慮香港獨特的狀況及條件，制定相關策略。

氣候小組決定著手提高香港市民及商界在如何對抗氣候變化方

邁向低碳生活

氣候小組正研製專為香港而設的碳足印計算器，期望能於2007年尾

agency TNS showed that climate change now ranks only behind air pollution as an environmental priority for Hong Kongers. Hong Kong appears to be following a global trend in rapidly increasing awareness and concern on the climate issue.

People are also beginning to understand that Hong Kong is exposed to the threats of climate change. A rising sea level could

lead to flooding in low-lying areas, particularly in the low lying Pearl River Delta. Hotter summers could increase the risk of heatstroke to Hong Kong’s urban dwellers, particularly the elderly. And incidence of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever could rise as rising temperatures improve the conditions for mosquitoes.

Funding approvedTackling climate change is WWF’s newest of the five programmes and owes tremendous thanks to Cathay Pacific Airways for providing significant core funding.

The Hongkong Bank Foundation have also provided major initial funds for the carbon calculator and Low Carbon Lifestyle Programme. And Hewlett Packard is to be thanked for providing start-up funding for the Climate Witness programme.

氣候變化 climate change[ ]

These funds will allow WWF to focus on a long-term, meaningful strategy for dealing with issues connected to climate change and air pollution.

Developing a strategyThe Climate Programme began by formulating a strategy that took into account Hong Kong’s unique position.

The team has therefore decided to work on developing the awareness of Hong Kong citizens and corporate sector on what they can do to help fight climate change. Additionally, the team will focus on engaging businesses in Hong Kong to take part in any one

of a series of programmes designed to reduce carbon emissions and publicise their commitment.

What happened to dateAlthough many of the specific programmes behind the Climate Team’s efforts have yet to be formally launched, a lot of work has been done setting the stage for a concerted and public drive on the issue of climate change.

Towards a low carbon lifestyleThe team is developing the Hong Kong-based carbon calculator and expects to have it ready for use by the end of 2007. The calculator will be the first tool in a series of online products to engage the public on lower carbon living under the banner of “Climateers (Climate Change. So Can You)”.

The calculator will enable people to measure their carbon footprint in the form of greenhouse gas emissions, and make it easier for people to systematically reduce their footprint.

The carbon calculator asks the user for information on every activity that causes carbon emissions, from the frequency of driving a car to the number of home appliances that are on at any one time. This information is then used to calculate the amount of carbon emissions that can be attributed to the user. Although other calculators are in use around the world, this is the first time that such a device has been created that matches the daily experiences of Hong Kong people.

The Climate Programme hopes that a strong public example by Climateers will encourage other people to examine their own carbon footprint and take steps to reduce it.

小組因此制訂了以下三個項目，並已加以推行:

1. Climate Savers：憑藉在其他國家與Sony、拉法基及IBM等公司合

作的經驗，本會繼續與商界合作，制訂針對減碳的長期大型項

目。該項目需要第三方技術夥伴的協助，對公司的排放量和實際

減排量進行嚴格審核。雖然洽商過程漫長、複雜，但已有若干香

港公司表示有興趣參與，並正與本會進行深入的討論，氣候小組

為此感到欣慰。

2. 低碳生產標準：香港有不少公司在內地均設有廠房，故本會相當

關注有關的生產和溫室氣體排放問題。得斯高及沃爾瑪等大型連

鎖店紛紛計劃減低供應鏈產生的溫室氣體排放，促使廠商更積極

地減低自己的排放。本會正與一間獨立顧問公司，為內地廠房編

製一套碳排放指標，以便評核。

3. 低碳辦公室指引:辦公室是許多香港公司的主要溫室氣體排放來

源。本會計劃為辦公室負責人介紹簡易方法，記錄二氧化碳排放

量，並向他們建議可行的減排方案，供他們選擇。

展望未來

得到太古集團慈善信託基金的贊助，教育部將就減排溫室氣體及個

人責任方面，發展一個以學校為本的項目。項目的主要對象為小

學，而我們將輔助學校及教師使用本會製作的資源，讓學生明白碳

排放所帶來的負面影響。本會亦會成立一個教師工作小組，協助策

劃項目。

為配合這個全新項目的推行，本會將在2007至2008年間研製兒童

碳足印計算器，並計劃於2008至09學年初推出。整體項目會在未來

五年舉行。

除了針對本港的情況外，氣候小組亦正研究中國碳市場在內地達

致可持續發展能源目標方面的影響。為了制定地區性及國際性解決

方案，以有效地處理全球暖化問題，本會正計劃與中國一些決意減

少污染及對抗氣候變化的非政府組織及企業合作，特別是來自珠江

河口及華南地區的機構。

A business approachThe Climate Programme has decided to approach the Hong Kong business community in ways that reflect their needs and takes into account its sensibilities, while addressing the principle problems of greenhouse gas emissions.

Three programmes have evolved and are now being put into place: 1. Climate Savers: Building on experience in other countries with

companies such as Sony, Lafarge and IBM, WWF is working with companies to undertake an extensive, long-term programme of carbon emissions reduction. The programme involves a careful audit of the company’s emissions and actual reductions, with

Switch off, not on.

participation by a third-party technical partner. Although the negotiations are lengthy and complex, the Climate Programme is pleased to report that several Hong Kong companies have already expressed interest and are now in serious negotiations.

2. The Low Carbon Manufacturing Standard: In view of the fact that many Hong Kong companies have manufacturing operations in southern China, it makes sense to look at the issue of production and greenhouse gas emissions. Added pressure from major retail firms such as Tesco and Wal-Mart to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their supply chains add extra incentive for companies to reduce their own emissions. WWF,

in conjunction with a third-party consultancy firm, is creating a carbon benchmarking system for factories in China.

3. The Low Carbon Office Guidelines: For many Hong Kong companies their major source of greenhouse gas emissions comes from their offices. WWF plans to target office managers with a simple methodology that will allow them to track office carbon emissions and assist in providing options and advice for reducing them.

The futureWith funding from the Swire Group Charitable Trust, WWF’s education department will develop a school-based programme in support of greenhouse gas emission reduction and personal responsibility. Focused mainly on primary schools, WWF will act in a supporting role to help schools and teachers use the resources developed to teach children about the adverse effects of carbon emissions. A teachers working group will be formed to assist WWF in programme development.

During 2007-08, WWF will also develop a kids’ carbon calculator to be used in conjunction with this progressive new programme. The calculator is slated for use at the start of the 2008-09 school year. The overall programme is set to continue for the next five years.

On a much broader level, the Climate Programme has been undertaking a review of the Chinese carbon market to assess its impact on China’s sustainable energy goals. As the problem of global warming requires local and global solutions, WWF is planning on developing partnerships with China’s NGOs and companies that are committed to reducing air pollution and combating climate change, particularly in the Pearl River Delta and southern China region.

[ ]生態足印 footprint


Measuring humanity’s ecological footprint – the amount of resources that people take from the Earth compared to the ability of Earth to regenerate those resources – is

becoming critical to our understanding of the issue of sustainability. Th e cost of humanity’s economic activity on the ecosystem

was never a major consideration in the past. We drew on a bank account to fund a lifestyle that has grown increasingly lavish. But now we are overdrawing on our account. Can we stop and be frugal?

Th ese are the questions that are addressed by the Footprint Programme of WWF Hong Kong. We are no longer looking at hard questions down the road – the hard questions are now.

In the 2006 Living Planet Report produced by WWF International, it is clear that we are overcharging on Earth, our only home. Our footprint on the planet has tripled since 1961, and in 1986 we crossed the line where global consumption started to exceed the planet’s ability to regenerate. In other words, we are turning forests and other natural resources into waste faster than they can be replenished. Our reliance on fossil fuels is of particular concern, making up almost half of our global footprint.

If we continue on a business as usual approach, we are heading on a path to shortages of vital ecological assets, increasing likelihood of ecosystem collapses, and great losses of the plants and animals our planet is so blessed with.

We cannot continue to do this. Th e developed world in particular must reduce its footprint.

innovative ways of helping people make informed choices that help reduce their own footprint.

WWF Hong Kong has also been taking steps to give people the ability to cut their footprint in small but meaningful ways. Collectively, they can add up to a big diff erence.

The Seafood GuideOverfi shing is now a major issue around the world. Th e United Nations Fisheries and Agricultural Organization reckoned in 2006 that 50 percent of the world’s fi sh stocks were exploited to their maximum, while 25 percent were overexploited or depleted. It is diffi cult to comprehend what this means for our oceans, but already once common fi sh like the Bluefi n tuna are headed towards extinction and its ability to provide food for millions has been reduced.

In this past year, WWF Hong Kong released the Seafood

Guide, a Hong Kong-specifi c way of helping people to reduce their ecological footprint by making informed choices about the food they eat.

Hong Kong is world-renowned for its restaurants, and seafood is a big part of Cantonese cuisine. Th e Seafood Guide, which was produced as part of the Save Our Seas campaign, clearly shows the species of fi sh that are safe to eat, in terms of sustainable fi shing practices. It also shows species threatened by fi shing or poor farming techniques that diners should avoid. It is pocket-sized, colour-coded and easy-to-use.

WWF hopes to encourage Hong Kong’s citizens to be selective about what seafood they eat, not to forego seafood altogether. Th e aim of the Seafood Guide is to develop this sense of responsible consumption, and thereby induce positive change in fi sheries practices, including Hong Kong. Sustainable fi shing essentially means healthy fi sh stocks are carefully fi shed, allowing other marine life to fl ourish.

Th e Seafood Guide enjoyed signifi cant publicity over the past

Forest Stewardship Council gains steamForests are a vital element in Earth’s ecology. They clean the air by using carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas and poisonous to humans) in the photosynthesis process to grow, producing oxygen as a byproduct. Humanity has regarded trees as a source of firewood, building materials and paper. With modern technology, rising populations and accelerating demand, forests and particularly in the tropics are being felled at an incredible pace.

We are starting to pay a price as forests are stripped bare, particularly in the delicate tropical forested areas of the world, such as Southeast Asia and South America. These places used to provide the greatest source of oxygen and took in excess carbon dioxide. Now they are being cut down to make furniture for wealthy homes, paper for offices and homes, and even just to make way for plantations of cash crops like oil palms. The ability of forests to help regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, and thus reduce the rate of climate change is greatly reduced if deforestation continues unabated. It is time for a fresh look at trees.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an organisation established in part by WWF. The FSC sets international standards for responsible forest management and the claims regarding products coming from FSC certified forests. It accredits independent third party organisations that can certify forest managers and forest product producers to FSC standards. It also gives consumers the ability to choose forest products that have been harvested in a sustainable manner and reduce their footprint.

而設的教育項目，向他們介紹生態足印和可持續生活模式這些概念。

Smaller footprints in the futureWWF’s 2006 Living Planet Report says that a “business-as-usual” approach to economic growth will be disastrous for humanity. WWF Hong Kong has responded by trying to decrease our footprint with those whose footprints are still small: children.

With generous support from the Lee Hysan Foundation, WWF Hong Kong is developing an educational programme designed to introduce primary school teachers and their young charges to the concept of an ecological footprint and sustainable lifestyle.

In the proposed programme, students will undertake a number of activities to help reinforce the connection between people’s actions and their environment. After a visit to Island House Conservation Studies Centre and Arboretum, students will nurture a small potted

plant and follow up on the plant’s progress over a four-month period. This is to extend the concept of ecological stewardship.

Kids will also look at their lifestyle by keeping a diary and a daily checklist aimed at charting behaviour that motivates them to decrease their footprint. Student participants will then be able to make changes that reduce their footprint and score points. Kids can even suggest novel ways to reduce their footprint and earn recognition.

The programme is in development now and will be rolled out in a trial phase towards the end of 2007. Ultimately, five or more schools making up a total of 30 classes will be taking part in this pilot year.

In a move that WWF hopes will establish more mindful eating habits by Hong Kong’s young people, the Seafood Guide is to be used by schools to create green lunches. The use of the Seafood Guide should not only cut down on the use of species that have been fished or farmed unsustainably, but should also

encourage a view of the oceans as a limited resource and one to be cared for.

Looking aheadIronically, one of the creatures that used to be feared most as a predator – even of humans – is itself being hit hard. Sharks sit at the top of the food chain in the world’s oceans, and have a special place in keeping balance to ecosystems. However, their numbers are declining quickly as the trend for shark’s fin soup increases in Hong Kong and especially in southern China as people’s affluence continues to rise.

A new information leaflet, funded by the ADM Capital Foundation, about the damage to shark populations is being prepared for release to major restaurants, hotels and selected companies. The leaflet contains essential information on the issues

surrounding shark fisheries, as well as a list of 26 organisations that have agreed to not serve shark fin soup at company dinners and ceremonies. WWF applauds their willingness to lead on such an important issue.

The leaflet, to be released in the fourth quarter of 2007, will be followed by a more concerted campaign by WWF to get consumers to switch from sharks fin soup to less damaging alternatives.

Finally, WWF has decided to commission a Living Planet Report for Hong Kong, to be released in 2008. The report will focus on measuring Hong Kong’s ecological footprint, as a whole and on a per capita basis. This kind of research should guide further research, conservation efforts and further raise awareness of Hong Kongers’ individual responsibilities as citizens of the planet.

陸地及保育政策 terrestial & conservation policy[ ]


Whenever the government or the private sector announces a new construction project, they will say that comments from the public are welcome.

Regulations require public consultation periods and information are made available for public inspection.

But who has the time?Ordinary citizens who might object to ongoing degradation of Hong Kong’s limited green spaces or sea areas have jobs to do, children to feed and lives to lead. Th is is exactly the situation that lets otherwise unpalatable construction projects become a part of Hong Kongers misery and someone else’s profi t.

每當政府或商界公佈新的興建工程項目時，都表示會歡

迎公眾意見。法例亦有規定須設有公眾諮詢期，並讓

公眾審閱有關資料。

但誰又有時間詳閱這些文件呢？

有些普通市民可能反對香港有限的綠色空間及海洋環境持續遭受破

壞，但他們都有各樣工作責任在身，未必有時間細閱這些文件。這

個情況促使到那些嚴重影響環境的工程項目一一獲得通過，而在建

築商因而獲利時，市民亦悔恨難返。

在本會，有一群努力不懈的科學家和政制專家專門研究政府、

大型企業建議的最新項目，以至於新界地區興建小型房屋的申請。

目的是了解這些項目對環境造成的潛在影響，並找出可行的解決方

法，他們甚至會審閱一些無需公眾參與意見的私人發展項目。除此

之外，他們亦會支持那些對社區環境有利的建議，鼓勵有關當局加

以推行。

總括而言，他們絕不會放過政府接受公眾諮詢的任何機會，且

積極代表公眾作出意見及建議。這個小組目前只有三名成員，執行

工作時，亦會因人手問題遇到不少困難，但在過去一年中，他們緊

守崗位，並取得一定的成績。

加強監測

在過去一年，陸地及保育政策小組共審閱了40個發展項目，當中

3個被撤回、5個獲延期，另外14個則遭政府否決。

在本會審閱過的項目中，有10個採納了本會建議，以緩減工程

項目對環境造成的影響，並因此獲得通過。在這10個項目中，有

2個項目直接採納了陸地及保育政策小組的推薦建議，作為項目被

接納的條件。

陸地及保育政策小組透過以下方式審閱工程發展項目建議：

Within WWF, there is a small team of dedicated scientists and policy experts who examine new proposals from the government, large corporations and even applications for building small houses in villages in the New Territories. Th ey do this looking for potential environmental problems and try to fi gure out solutions that are workable, even to the point of assessing private projects that don’t require public input. In other cases, the team supports proposals that are good for the local environment and encourages their adoption.

In short, they take government proscribed consultation periods seriously and try to make them work on the public’s behalf. It’s not an easy job with just three people. But they do it, and over this past year, they’ve had some success.

Adding the scrutiny Over the past year, the Terrestrial and Conservation Policy (TCP) team examined 40 development projects. Of these, three were withdrawn, five were deferred by the applicant, and 14 were rejected by the government.

Ten projects were approved after planners’ made changes that are in line with WWF’s recommendations on ways of mitigating the effects of construction on the environment. Of those ten, two projects directly adopted recommendations from the TCP team as a condition for acceptance.

• 與有關政府部門合作，以監察及遏止未經授權的工程發展項目

Th e TCP team examines development proposals with the following means:

• Providing verbal and written advice to government offi cials and environmental consultants during the consultation phase. Th ese comments usually involve ways of avoiding or reducing ecological impacts during the various phases of a construction project.

• Conducting fi eld visits to sites proposed for development to

assess the likely impact of a project by collecting onsite data on habitats.

• Working with relevant government departments to monitor and deter unauthorised developments and illegal dumping.

Among the successes is a rare example of a proposal dealing with conservation: WWF, with support from other local green groups, supported a plan to have 60 hectares of secondary forest in Tai Po Kau Headland listed as a biodiversity hotspot. As a result, this area was designated as a protected area in October 2006. An ecological survey helped tip the balance in favour of conservation.

Another ongoing project concerns the proposed liquefi ed natural gas receiving terminal on the Soko Islands. WWF opposes the construction of an LNG terminal in this location. Th e proposed location at Soko would put yet more pressure on the protected Chinese White Dolphins and our threatened marine ecosystem. Th e TCP and Marine teams worked hard on this issue, and the subsequent No Go at Soko signature campaign garnered over 20,000 names.

Additionally, the team provided information and ammunition at media briefings to help publicise an issue that might not otherwise have received public attention.

What’s getting in the wayUnfortunately, keeping up with the enormous amounts of development in fast-paced Hong Kong is not easy. Aside from the sheer volume of work that the dedicated TCP team faces, there are other serious constraints they have dealt with in the past year.

Chief among these constraints is the ongoing inability or unwillingness of the government to adopt a territory-wide, holistic conservation policy. The team has essentially concluded that the government places a high priority on new development and infrastructure, and low priority on the principles of sustainable development.

The government remains reluctant to designate new protected areas, and areas of high ecological value continue to suffer due to mismanagement or neglect.

Thankfully the Environmental Impact Assessment process on individual projects has performed reasonably well in recent years. A remaining problem, however, is the lack of consideration in the planning stages given to the cumulative impact arising from a multitude of past, present and future projects.

Illegal developments and dumping are also an ongoing concern. Many of Hong Kong’s ecologically sensitive areas are located on private land with various land-use zonings, such as “Conservation Area” or “Coastal Protection Area”. People trying to build on these lands will attempt to rezone the area with the Town Planning Board, in which case the TCP team will assess the project.

The team has also begun reviewing overseas case studies to

learn how new measures could be applied to Hong Kong in order to improve on the current system for conserving wild places.

Looking aheadDuring the past year, the TCP team has come to the conclusion that the more people express their concerns on development projects in a meaningful way, the more that positive changes can be made to developers’ plans. In view of this, the team is prepared to work on a communications channel to encourage the public to air their views on development proposals, and to

困難重重

然而，香港發展急速，要追上有關步伐，並非易事。在過去一年

中，陸地及保育政策小組不但要處理繁重的工作，同時亦需要面對

一些棘手的問題。

當中最大的障礙便是政府未能或不願在香港推行全面的保育政

策。事實上，小組認為政府側重全新及基建發展項目，而忽視可持

續發展的原則。

政府仍不願闢建新的保護區，令一些具高度生態價值的地方繼

續因管理不善及疏忽，而受到破壞。

可幸的是，在近年，小組就個別項目進行的環境影響評估程序

尚算順利，剩下來最大的障礙便是來自有關當局在規劃階段，未

能充分考慮過往、現在及將來的發展項目對環境的累積影響。

非法發展項目及傾倒垃圾的行為亦是我們一直關注的問題。香

港許多需要保護的生態環境都位於私人土地上，擁有不同的土地用

途，如「自然保育區」或「海濱保護區」。若要在這些土地上進行

興建工程，就需向城市規劃委員會申請改劃有關土地，而陸地及保

育政策小組亦將對項目進行評估。

有關小組亦已開始審閱海外個案，學習如何將新的措施應用在

香港，以改善現有保育野生地區的制度。

展望將來

陸地及保育政策小組綜合過去一年的經驗後總結，愈多人清楚具體

地表達對發展項目的關注，發展商便會對計劃作出更多正面的改

變。有見及此，小組正準備開創全新的溝通渠道，以鼓勵公眾表

達他們對項目建議的意見，以及提供對生物多樣性構成潛在威脅

的資料。

小組亦發現與其他環保團體分享研究結果，能更有效地推動改

變。在過去一年，本會曾與另一保育組織─嘉道理農場暨植物園

─在多個項目上緊密合作。在來年，本會亦會繼續這樣做。

最後，小組亦決定在未來一年採取更積極的態度，促請政府在

推行發展項目時，能顧及香港整體環境及帶來的累積影響。

為吸引更多遊客，有建議在吐露港的龍尾發展人工泳灘。

development projects plays an important part in lobbying for change. Over the past year, WWF has worked closely with another conservation group, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, on several projects and will continue to do so in the coming year.

Finally, the team has resolved to be more proactive in the coming year in terms of advancing a more holistic view of development in Hong Kong and its cumulative effects.

[ ]淡水及濕地 ]freshwater & wetlands


It’s hard to appreciate the importance of water until you don’t have it. Th ankfully, Hong Kong is blessed with a plentiful supply – or so it seems.

One thing that can be diffi cult for people to appreciate in a time and place when clean, drinkable water is only a twist of the tap away, is how fragile and limited freshwater is. Th at’s true for Hong Kong and much of southern China.

What’s also true is that freshwater and wetland ecosystems are much grander in design than most people realise. It is not always obvious to the casual observer how the health of a freshwater ecosystem as far away as northern Vietnam could aff ect the sustained quality of freshwater supplies to Hong Kong – but the linkages are real.

WWF Hong Kong’s Freshwater and Wetlands Programme aims to protect Hong Kong’s rivers, springs, lakes and wetlands and their respective ecosystems, as well as those of the surrounding area. It also takes responsibility for informing and educating the public about the issues and threats related to these fragile ecosystems.

A big part of WWF’s eff ort in both education and conservation involves the Mai Po Nature Reserve. But it is far from the only eff ort that WWF undertakes in support of freshwater and wetlands. A training course in wetland management, generously supported by the Hongkong Bank Foundation since 1998, has trained thousands of wetland staff and government offi cials in South China and beyond in cutting-edge techniques.

An example of the Hongkong Bank Foundation’s sponsorship and support in South China is the fi ve-year conservation project

of two wetlands. WWF launched the project in November 2006, in collaboration with the Fujian and Guangdong Provincial Forestry Departments, Zhangjiang Estuary National Mangrove Nature Reserve and the Haifeng Nature Reserve. So far training programmes for staff and educators at the Zhangjiang and Haifeng reserves have been achieved plus a bird-watching hide constructed at Zhangjiang and educational materials developed for both reserves. Th e project has successfully attracted the attention of provincial and national level authorities.

Pearl River Delta Scoping StudyWWF recognised early on that a huge knowledge gap existed in the area of freshwater ecosystems in the Pearl River Basin – source of 80 percent of Hong Kong’s freshwater – and that the threats to these ecosystems were poorly understood.

Stepping into that gap, WWF undertook a comprehensive scoping study of the Pearl River Basin and threats to the biodiversity and health of freshwater ecosystems in the Basin.

Sponsored by Epson Foundation, the study consisted of an exhaustive review of scientifi c papers, government reports plus onsite visits and analysis. Th e result is a report to be released in the fall of 2007 detailing the ill eff ects of urbanisation, overdevelopment, river chanelling, pollution, over fi shing and

even climate change.Th e report also shows that solutions are possible,

as in the Yangtze River, where WWF China has extensive and successful projects.

One of the key fi ndings of the report is that there is no overreaching policy protecting the ecosystems of the Pearl River Basin. Th e

lack of a high-level conservation directive is also something that plagues conservation of the natural

environment throughout Hong Kong. Th is must be changed and WWF hopes to begin the change by infl uencing as broad a

米埔 ─ 國際雀鳥中心

米埔自然保護區是香港最壯麗的自然景點之一，在內可找到

大大小小的魚塘、鹹淡水基圍(不少經已恢復)，在附近可觀賞

到紅樹林，以及緊接后海灣的泥灘。

每年冬季，數十萬隻沿著東亞─澳大拉西亞飛行航道遷徙的候鳥

便會飛抵米埔。當中有不少更是瀕危品種，牠們極度需要在米埔這

segment of society as possible. The report will serve as the basis for communication and

education efforts aimed at raising awareness of the issues, and to cut water usage – one of the best ways that citizens can help protect freshwater supplies.

The autumn issue of About Life will contain a short booklet outlining the major findings of the report and some easy tips on water conservation. The booklet is also to be distributed in schools throughout Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

More significantly, the Epson Pearl River Delta Scoping Study has been the focal point of an extensive teacher-training programme specifically for Shenzhen-area teachers. At WWF locations in Hong Kong, teachers attend workshops designed to raise their ability to instruct, and develop and implement environmental education related to wetland conservation in their schools.

Mai Po – international bird centre One of Hong Kong’s greatest natural attractions is the Mai Po Nature Reserve. It is a patchwork of freshwater fish ponds and brackish gei wai (shrimp ponds), many of them restored, and the nearby mangroves and mudflats that border Deep Bay.

Each winter, tens of thousands of birds descend on Mai Po as they migrate along the East-Asian Australian Flyway. Many of these birds are endangered and heavily reliant on tranquil and diverse wetlands like Mai Po. The Asian Waterbird Conservation Fund, managed by WWF Hong Kong, was founded by Cathay Pacific Airways to support projects that conserve migratory waterbirds in this flyway.

This makes Mai Po a place of exceptional value for conservation and education. WWF staff at Mai Po have their hands full keeping Mai Po in good shape for the waterbirds, and for the visitors that want to see a unique part of Hong Kong.

In 2006-2007, WWF staff at Mai Po Nature Reserve continued a study on the effects of buffalo grazing in freshwater ponds to see whether they attract more birds. While no conclusions have yet been made about the birds, WWF’s first water buffalo at the reserve has been very beneficial in keeping vegetation under control. WWF staff and volunteers are usually responsible for this time consuming task, although more of it may be done in the future by increasing the number of buffalo at the reserve. In addition, the buffalo, “Siu Mai” seems to be enjoying the work, as vets have noticed that she is physically and mentally healthier and has a nice lustre to her coat.

義工無分國界，共同為米埔出一分力。

Volunteers at Mai Po know no boundaries.

米埔具備重要的保育及教育價值。

Mai Po is a place of exceptional value for conservation and education.


Much of this work involves draining and flooding the various gei wai that make up Mai Po, as well as removing mangrove seedlings from mudflats to prevent them from drying out. Much of this work is carried out by a small group of dedicated WWF staff and assisted by volunteers who contribute to making Mai Po the treasure that it is.

Boardwalk and floating hide go aheadIn view of increasing sedimentation and growing numbers of visitors, WWF took the decision in 2004 to build a new boardwalk and bird hide, which allows visitors to venture further out on the mudflats for better bird-watching. After three years, WWF finally received a permit from the Environmental Protection Department to begin construction in late July 2007. The work will be completed at the end of October. An anonymous donor has provided most of the money for the project, with additional support from Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited, Hong Kong Electric Holdings Ltd, and WWF’s annual Big Bird Race.

Rotary nature trail upgradeIn spring, WWF staff undertook extensive upgrades and repairs

to a nature trail originally established by the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Northwest. The Rotary Club once again provided donations for the effort, which included replacing notice board roofs, repainting rain shelters and updating educational notices.

New bat boxesTo date, four species of bats have been recorded at Mai Po. As a result, three bat boxes were set up to provide places for bats to roost and breed at Mai Po in mid-April 2007. The boxes were set at different heights and painted different colours to match the specific needs of each species.

Reedbed studyReedbeds support a range of birds and insects vital to the success of Mai Po. However, silt has been accumulating in these reedbeds, which causes them to dry out and other grasses to move in. In the autumn of 2006, WWF staff joined with the Hong Kong Bird Ringing Group to compare how birds used a reedbed in the process of drying out versus a reedbed that has been “restored” to its wet condition. The project will determine WWF’s future course of action on reedbed maintenance.

米埔吸引大量鳥類到來棲息、覓食，使其具備重要的保育及教育

價值。本會駐守米埔的員工每日都馬不停蹄地打理保護區，希望令它

更適合水鳥居住，同時讓參觀人士可在此欣賞到香港獨特的一面。管

理工作繁多，包括為米埔內多個基圍放塘、注水，以及清除泥灘內的

紅樹苗，以免泥灘乾涸。這些工作大部分由本會員工負責，部分亦在

義工協助下完成。義工在打理米埔這個瑰寶上，實在功不可沒。

建設全新的木橋及觀鳥屋

由於后海灣的沉積問題愈趨嚴重，加上參觀人士數目不斷上升，本

會於2004年決定興建全新的木橋及觀鳥屋，讓參觀人士可更深入泥

灘從更佳的角度觀賞雀鳥。經過三年的申請，本會終在2007年7月

尾取得由環境保護署發出的許可證，獲准開展興建工程。工程將在

10月底竣工。項目大部分開支由一名匿名捐款人士支付，而其餘的

資金則來自長江實業(集團)有限公司及香港電燈集團有限公司的捐

款和本會每年舉辦的香港觀鳥大賽所籌得的款項。

維修扶輪社自然教育徑

於春天，本會員工對一條由香港西北區扶輪社興建的自然教育徑，

進行大型改善及維修工程。扶輪社再次為工程作出捐款資助，工程

包括更換告示板的瓦頂，重塗避雨亭和更新教育資料告示。

設置全新蝙蝠箱

到目前為止，我們一共在米埔記錄到四個蝙蝠品種。2007年4月

中，在米埔內增設了3個蝙蝠箱，讓牠們在內棲息和繁殖。蝙蝠箱

的高度各異，並塗有不同的顏色，以配合各品種的不同需要。

蘆葦叢研究項目

蘆葦叢扶養多種鳥類及昆蟲，同時讓米埔能成為一個成功的自然生

態地區。然而，蘆葦叢內的淤泥持續囤積，令蘆葦叢乾涸起來，亦

讓其他雜草入侵。在2006年秋天，本會與香港鳥類環誌協會合作，

研究鳥類使用逐漸乾涸以及已回復濕潤的蘆葦叢的分別。研究結果

將決定本會日後在維修蘆葦叢方面的方向。

每年均有數以萬計的候鳥來到米埔棲息、覓食。

400個學校團到米埔參觀。去年，約28,000名學生、教師及公

眾參與了本會的教育項目。

自然種子項目

今年，本會舉辦「自然種子」項目，由參與項目的學校提名

教師參加為期一年的項目，活動包括本會在米埔和海下灣舉

行的培訓工作坊，以及有關森林基本知識、如何編寫及落實

適合在校內和考察地點推行的教案的工作坊。教師的教案及

經驗已可於網上瀏覽。

本會亦已製作在校進行的學習遊戲，幫助學生認識候鳥

遷徙及濕地保育的重要性。項目已進行了四個階段，並於

2007年7月底結束。「自然種子」項目由優質教育基金贊助。

展望未來

發展網上學習項目

去年，本會密鑼緊鼓地為參觀活動加入網上學習原素，希望

能藉此豐富學生參觀米埔的體驗。而於2007年秋季，本會將

推出了「濕地生態學家」試驗項目。

項目完成後，學生可在參觀米埔前，透過這些網上學習元

素，做好考察前的準備。而在活動結束後，亦同樣能使用互

聯網，完成活動跟進部分。有了網上元素，學生便能將考察

活動收集到的數據上載至互聯網，繼而分析數據如何增進他

們對米埔整體的認識。項目配合現今方便快捷的資訊科技，

定能刺激學習思維，增進學生對自然科學的興趣。

本會謹此衷心感謝利銘澤黃瑤璧慈善基金的慷慨贊助，讓

我們得以發展網上學習項目。首批加入網上學習元素的學校

參觀團舉行日期將於2007年11月公佈。

As a thriving bird migration spot, Mai Po offers an unrivalled location for school kids and the general public to learn about and appreciate the natural world, and it’s all in Hong Kong’s backyard. This is not lost on WWF – approximately 400 school trips to Mai Po take place each year. In the past year, roughly 28,000 students, teachers and members of the public were involved in WWF’s educational programmes.

Seeds of Nature programmeThis year, WWF ran the “Seeds of Nature” programme, in which teachers are nominated by participating schools to join the one-year programme, which includes training workshops by WWF at Mai Po as well as at Hoi Ha Wan and in forestry basics, and developing and implementing teaching plans in school as well as in the field. The plans and their experiences are posted online.

WWF also developed a kids game that teachers can use in school to help students understand the importance of bird migration and wetland conservation. WWF conducted four phases of the programme, which finished at the end of July 2007. The Seeds of Nature programme is carried out with financial support from the Quality Education Funded Project.

生機勃勃的學習地點─米埔

Mai Po – a living educational centre

Looking aheadOnline learning programmeIn the past year, WWF has moved rapidly to create an online component to its Mai Po tours for students, and in autumn 2007, the pilot programe “Who wants to be a wetland ecologist” will be launched.

When complete, the online element of the Mai Po programme will allow students to prepare for their trip before going to Mai Po, and to follow up afterwards, all by the internet. The online element allows students to upload their data from findings they make onsite, and then following up to see how their data contributes to the overall understanding at Mai Po. It is an excellent programme that’s sure to fire up curious minds and encourage interest in natural science.

Much of the development work behind the move to online learning came about thanks to generous help from the Drs Richard Charles and Esther Yewpick Lee Charitable Foundation. The first tour dates utilising the online component are expected in November 2007.

時至今日，我們已很難想像這個城市曾一度因其港口香氣

芬芳，而被命名為「香」港了。不過，的而且確，在不

久以前，香港附近的水域亦曾充滿著生機，到處都可看

到各式魚類、珊瑚和海洋生物，就連維多利亞港也不例外。

隨著香港經濟迅速發展，附近的水域亦遭過度捕撈，發展商填海

造地，污染物及污水被肆意排到海裡，嚴重破壞海洋環境。

香港的決策者欠缺這方面的遠見和計劃，妨礙潔淨海洋工作的

進行。前港督麥理浩爵士憑藉環保卓見，闢建香港首批郊野公園，

令若干土地受到保護，但我們的海洋卻從未受過如此厚待。相反，

政府官員往往只著重項目成本，繼而忽略海洋保育，令海洋不斷受

不過，情況並非絕望。香港市民愈來愈喜愛親近海洋環境，並正

學習欣賞海洋，不再只視之為予以剝削的資源。繼游泳之後，滑浪

風帆迅速成為香港人最熱衷的水上活動，而揚帆出海、潛水、衝浪

及划艇亦普及起來，反映本港有一撮人士希望海洋環境受到保護，

水質能回復潔淨，有關人數亦正不斷增加。

世界自然基金會香港分會已將恢復香港海洋生態訂為首要工作目

標，亦是多項活動的主幹之一。海洋項目內含多項計劃，目的全為

提高市民對香港豐富生態的意識，以及支持改善海洋環境的計劃。

拯救海洋大行動

「拯救海洋大行動──SOS」於2004年開展，是本會最大型的長

期項目之一。項目主要目的有兩個：將香港水域10%劃為「禁捕

區」，讓數十年來均遭受過度捕撈的漁業資源得以恢復；以及禁止

最具破壞力的底拖網漁船在本港大部分水域作業。現在，漁民竟然

還獲准在香港所有的海岸公園進行商業捕魚活動，故本會將這些海

It is hard to imagine a time when Hong Kong’s harbour could really be thought of as “fragrant”. But at one time in the not-too-distant past, the seas around Hong Kong teemed with life.

An enormous variety of fi sh, coral and other sea life would have been everywhere – even in Victoria Harbour.

As Hong Kong pushed ahead with rapid economic development, the surrounding waters were increasingly over-fi shed, developers reclaimed land and pollution and sewage were casually discharged into the sea. Th e result is the sullied waters we have today.

One of the great impediments to cleaning up Hong Kong’s seas is the lack of vision and planning on the part of policymakers. Th e seas have never had a true champion, unlike our land, which benefi ted from the far-sighted conservation vision of Governor Murray MacLehose who set up the fi rst Country Park. Instead, the seas have been destroyed in a piecemeal fashion thanks to the indiff erence of government

offi cials who look at costs before conservation in the seas. But there is cause for optimism. Th e people of Hong Kong are

taking to the waters like never before and learning to enjoy the sea as a thing of beauty, and not just as a resource to be depleted. Aside from all the swimmers, windsurfi ng is quickly becoming the sport of Hong Kong, while sailing, diving, surfi ng and kayaking are also gaining adherents. All of this means there is a growing segment of Hong Kong that wants sea life and clean waters restored.

WWF has made the restoration of Hong Kong’s once-beautiful waters a top priority and one of the central pillars of activity. Th e Marine Pillar includes a number of projects designed to raise awareness of Hong Kong’s rich ecological heritage and support plans to improve the marine environment.

ongoing programmes, having been initiated in 2004. The twin objectives are to create “no-take” zones in ten percent of Hong Kong’s waters to help local fish stocks recover from decades of over-fishing, and to prohibit bottom-trawling fishing – the most damaging type of fishing – from most areas. The no-take zones include all of Hong Kong’s marine parks where, remarkably, commercial fishing is still permitted.

Under the umbrella of these goals, WWF has undertaken the following activities:

The University of British Columbia reportIn June 2006, WWF commissioned the University of British Columbia’s Fisheries Centre to do a detailed socio-economic study on the lives of fishermen and the economic effects of different fisheries management schemes for Hong Kong. The final report was released in March 2007. A critical point was that 54 percent of fishermen were willing to switch to another occupation, while 75 percent indicated they were willing to participate in a buy-back scheme, if properly compensated for their boats.

The report also concluded that implementing the SOS goals

would render tremendous economic benefits. If the government were to implement the measures advocated by WWF, the total economic benefit to society could be over HK$2 billion. Fishermen that remain in the business and fish outside the no-take zones would enjoy the rewards of rising fish stocks. On the other hand, outdoor activity companies would benefit from more tourists attracted to see the thriving marine life within the marine parks and other no-takes zones.

The UBC study was a first-of-its-kind for Hong Kong, and shows the extent to which WWF has stepped up to the kind of work that the government of Hong Kong should be doing on its own. The report also clearly demonstrated that the current approach to fisheries management in Hong Kong is badly in need for reform.

Fish population studyA long-term WWF study of the fish population at Hong Kong’s Marine Parks was wrapped up in early 2007. The results were disappointing and demonstrated the inability of these small parks, where fishing is still allowed, to help restore depleted reef fish populations. This monitoring project will be repeated

為了實踐以上目標，本會進行了以下活動：

委託加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學編撰報告

於2006年6月，本會委託加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學漁業中心進行詳

細的社會經濟研究，了解不同的漁業管理方式分別對香港漁民的生

活和經濟造成的影響。報告於2007年3月正式發表，主要發現包括

54%漁民願意轉型，而75%表示倘獲得合理賠償，他們均願意參與

漁船回購計劃。

報告亦發現推行拯救海洋大行動的建議，能為本港帶來重大經濟

利益。如果政府能推行本會提倡的措施，社會將共可獲得超過20億

港元的經濟利益。繼續從事漁業，並在禁捕區以外水域捕魚的漁民

亦將因漁業資源增加而獲益。此外，海洋生態回復生機亦會吸引更

多遊人遊覽海岸公園和其他禁捕區，令舉辦戶外活動的公司受惠。

這份報告屬本港首個同類研究，並應由香港政府負責進行，反映

本會對海洋保育的密切關注。報告亦清楚顯示，本港現時的漁業管

理急需進行改革。

魚類種群數目研究

本會就香港海岸公園內的魚類種群數目而進去的長期研究於2007年初結

束，結果令人失望，並顯示這些面積細小且容許捕魚活動的海岸公園

並未能協助珊瑚魚數目回升。本會將於日後定期進行這項監察活動。

海下灣的情況尤為嚴重。公園於1997年設立，而自那時直至

2003年為止，公園內的漁獲重量下跌了54%。到了2006年，情況稍

為改善，但亦只回復到1997年的低水平。

研究結果證實本會在「拯救海洋大行動」中提出的憂慮，顯示

periodically in the future. At Hoi Ha Wan in particular, the results are grim. Between

1997 (the year the park was established) and 2003, fish biomass decreased by 54 percent. There was a modest recovery by 2006, but still only back to 1997’s low levels.

The findings only add urgency to the SOS message and show that the need for action is pressing. The results were presented to the Marine Parks Committee, which advises the government on management of the Marine Parks, with a recommendation to stop fishing in them.

No Go at SokoThe No Go at Soko campaign aims to prevent the building of a liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal on the remote Soko Islands. The area is inhabited by the Chinese White Dolphin and the Finless Porpoise – the only area where the two species co-occur. During 2006-07, the campaign generated over 20,000 signatures in protest against the proposed LNG terminal.

The debate over the proposed LNG terminal generated the most comments ever received by the Environmental Protection

Department in a single public consultation. Although the government has accepted the environmental impacts of the LNG terminal project, they are now studying the business plan and the outcome remains unclear. WWF remains cautiously optimistic and is pleased that people have shown their willingness to stand up and be counted on issues that affect the whole community.

Ocean’s 10 – multimedia competitionHong Kong was once well known for the diversity and abundance of its sea life. Sadly, many of the creatures that used to live here in such abundance have become less well known – perhaps invisible – to most Hong Kongers. To rectify this, WWF staged a multi-media competition to raise awareness of ten of Hong Kong’s endemic species. Participants were invited to produce either a short TV ad or a print ad that would encourage people to think carefully about these species and their future in Hong Kong.

The competition began in 2006, with judging held in early 2007. Two judges from the media industry were asked to choose winning entries, which were then made available online. The Ocean’s 10 programme was generously sponsored by Solomon Systech.

Harbour Area Treatment SchemeWhen movie studios refuse to let stuntmen enter Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour on account of the pollution, you’d think that the government would spare no expense on fixing the problem. Sadly, that’s not the case.

Hong Kong’s waters, and in particular Victoria Harbour, have long suffered from sewage discharge. Until just a few years ago, most human waste was discharged directly into the water without treatment. Under a multi-staged plan known as the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS), a sewage

treatment plant was built on Stonecutter’s Island. But this was only for primary treatment, which removes the big pieces of waste but still discharges the rest back into the sea.

In 2000, an expert panel recommended that the government quickly move to build secondary treatment facilities, in line with most developed economies.

During this past year, WWF has joined other green groups in the territory to urge the government to proceed towards the next stage of HATS, and to make the creation of secondary treatment facilities a priority. Such facilities, already in use around the world, involve biological treatment processes that clean the water naturally and without exacting further harm on the environment.

Instead, the government chose to implement half measures, such as using chlorine treatment for the sewage water to kill diseases. However, this method may well be damaging to the environment as it will discharge huge amounts of chlorine into the ocean and doesn’t address all the concerns with sewage discharge.

As part of the renovation programme, multi-media facilities will be included. This will allow teachers to prepare students in advance for their time at the centre, thereby getting the most benefit out of the class for the students.

淨化海港計劃

較早前曾有電影公司因為本港維多利亞港的污染問題而拒絕讓特

技人員跳進海港，你可能認為政府會因此積極改善問題。可惜，

港府並無這樣做。

在本港，污水排放問題嚴重，污染本港水域，特別是維多利亞

港的水質。於數年前，本港大部分人體排泄物未經處理便被排進

海裡。其後，推行分階段進行的淨化海港計劃，並於昂船洲興建

污水處理廠，但是這只屬一級處理程序，僅可除去體積較大的廢

物，剩餘的污水還是會被排進海裡的。

於2000年，由專家組成的專責小組建議政府效法大部分已發展

國家，盡快興建二級污水處理設施。

在過去一年，本會與區內其他環保團體合作，促請政府推行

淨化海港計劃另一階段，並將興建二級污水處理設施列為首要項

目。這類設施已獲全球多國使用，它讓我們可以推行生物處理程

序，自然地潔淨水質，不會對環境造成進一步的破壞。

可惜，政府選擇採用次等的污水處理方法，例如在污水中加入

氯氣，殺死病菌。不過，大量氯氣被排進海裡可能會對環境造成

破壞，而且這個方法亦未能完全解決污水排放的問題。

Kong’s ecological heritage and encourage young people to explore their surroundings.

To further enhance the beauty and educational value of the centre, WWF has approved a plan to build an artificial reef under the centre to create a more varied marine habitat where fish populations can thrive. Combined with the positive effects of a no-take zone, this could turn the area into a fantastic outdoor education centre. Students and visitors would even be able to try diving and snorkelling amid plenty of marine life.

With funding by the Hongkong Bank Foundation, the Hong Kong’s first registered glass-bottomed boat, “Transparency” at the centre, allows visitors to have a closer view of the colorful underwater world of marine life and is specifically designed for coral viewing.

Robot visionsWWF and City University staged the second annual Underwater Robot Challenge on 8-9 April 2007. The challenge is a chance for teams from secondary schools and universities to enter their versions of an underwater remote operated vehicle for use in marine research. This year’s theme focused on the needs of an underwater robot for use in the arctic. Sixteen secondary school

teams and five university teams took part, with HKTA Yuen Yuen Institute Number 2 Secondary School and City University of Hong Kong winning their respective divisions.

WWF extends its thanks to Oasis Airlines and Air Canada for their sponsorship in allowing winning team members to attend similar competitions in North America.

Looking aheadWWF has started to organise a workshop to look ahead at the long-term conservation of the beleaguered Chinese White Dolphin, following on from the No Go at Soko campaign. The workshop is scheduled for the first half of 2008 and will convene international experts and government officials to review the status of the dolphin in the Pearl River Estuary and try and work out a detailed plan to ensure that the dolphins survive. At the moment, an estimated 1,000 Chinese White Dolphins are left in the estuary.

WWF has applied to the Marine Parks Committee to have an area around the Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre declared a no-take zone and a mechanised-vessels prohibited zone in which fishing and power-driven vessels will be prohibited. Hopefully, the committee will grant the no-take designation within the year.

本會同時感謝利希慎基金，資助貧童參與教育團。這類項目

有助宣揚有關本港生態價值的訊息，並可鼓勵年青人探索四周的

環境。

為了增加中心的觀賞和教育價值，本會已通過一項計劃：在中

心下興建一個人工魚礁，為魚類提供更多元化的海洋生境，讓牠們

可在內生長繁殖。配合禁捕區的正面影響，該處將能成為一個絕佳

的戶外教育中心。學生及參觀人士更可嘗試在眾多海洋生物中進行

潛水或浮潛活動。

感謝豐銀行慈善基金的捐贈，中心的「透明號」- 香港第一艘

經註冊的合法玻璃底船，能讓參觀人士不用沾濕身體而近距離欣賞

七彩繽紛的海底世界。船底經特別設計，在監察珊瑚時，不會對珊

瑚造成破壞。

潛水機械人加入海洋保育行列

本會與城市大學於2007年4月8至9日，舉辦第二屆「潛水機械人挑

戰賽」，邀請中學及大學隊伍製作水下遙控器以進行海洋研究。今

年的主題著重在北極使用潛水機械人時的特別需要。比賽共吸引了

16個中學隊伍及5個大學隊伍參加。中學組及大學組的勝出隊伍分

別為香港道教聯合會圓玄學院第二中學及香港城市大學。

本會在此感謝甘泉航空及加航的贊助，讓勝出隊伍能前往北美

洲參與同類比賽。

展望將來

本會已著手舉辦工作坊，配合「反對在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收

站」運動，研究保育備受威脅的中華白海豚的長遠策略。工作坊計

劃於2008年上半年舉行，將邀請多位國際專家及政府官員一同評估

海豚在珠三角河口的狀況，並制定詳細的方案，以確保海豚能繼續

存活下去。現時，約有1000條中華白海豚棲息於有關河口。

本會已向海岸公園委員會申請將中心附近位置劃為禁捕和禁止

機動船隻進入的區域，禁止在內捕魚和機動船隻駛入。本會盼望委

員會能於年內批准設立禁捕區。

本港水域是多種珊瑚及罕有海洋生物的棲息之所，牠們極需要我們的保護。

Environmental problems don’t respect borders. When a factory belches air pollution into the sky, its harmful effects can be felt far beyond the area where the factory

lies. Residents of Hong Kong are well aware of this. WWF has a network of offi ces in more than 100 countries.

Until recently, many focused most of their eff orts on their own backyards. But global problems demand global solutions, and WWF is rising to the challenge.

WWF International is now preparing a new five-year strategy, which will affect each office and help guide priorities. Jim Leape, WWF International Director General, is calling for fewer small projects and more major projects requiring the coordinated participation of multiple national offices.

Several international initiatives are now in the offi ng, including programmes in the Amazon and the Congo, and a programme to protect the Coral Triangle, the centre of coral reef biodiversity in Asia Pacifi c. Th e Hong Kong offi ce will be involved in the Coral Triangle Initiative and others.

Asia Pacifi c Coal InitiativeOver the past year, WWF Hong Kong has hosted the WWF International’s Asia Pacific Coal Initiative (APCI), designed to address one of the prime drivers of greenhouse gas emissions: the use of coal as an energy source. Throughout Asia Pacific, demand for coal is rising dramatically, and so is the potential for irreversible damage.

The APCI plans to bring together a range of stakeholders

to gain consensus on what changes need to occur in the use of coal to make sure its future is controlled and contribution to climate change minimised. Among the projects the APCI has undertaken in the past year:

The True Cost of Coal: WWF began a year-long research project in collaboration with Chinese NGOs, research institutions and the Chinese government to identify the true costs of coal usage, including social and environmental costs.

The State of Coal Report: WWF developed a state of coal report that identifies current technology, regulations and social and environmental impacts related to coal use in India. The findings are to be released in December 2007.

Yellow Sea initiativeThe seas around East Asia’s coast are overused and endangered. WWF Hong Kong has partnered with WWF offices in China and Japan, as well as the Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute, to

enhance conservation work in the Yellow Sea, identified by WWF as one of the world’s priority eco-regions. As of July 2007, WWF Hong Kong has funded a full time marine officer to be based in China. The first phase of the programme has already mapped biodiversity hotspots within the Yellow Sea. Now WWF and partners will help selected nature reserves around the Yellow Sea in improving their conservation efforts.

The Coral Triangle The seas between the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, and even

including the waters up to the south China coast and down to Australia, are the richest in the world for hard corals, reef fish and a wide variety of other sea creatures. WWF offices across the region will coordinate on action designed to protect these coral ecosystems from overfishing and other threats. The Hong Kong office will focus on educating consumers on responsible seafood consumption, particularly of live reef food fish, most of which are imported from the Coral Triangle, and on getting the seafood industry to adopt more sustainable practices.

Protecting Borneo’s forestsThe Heart of Borneo initiative will focus on finding ways of conserving the damaged forests of Borneo. These tropical rainforests and surrounding areas are home to a staggering array of species – over 350 have been discovered there since 1996. Borneo’s forests are also a key regulator of the Earth’s climate – without them, global warming will certainly increase. WWF Hong Kong will help fight deforestation by raising awareness of the issue in the consuming markets of southern China and promoting timber from sustainable sources.

[ ]財務資料 financials


Every year, a small team of dedicated WWF staff works hard to make sure that money is available to fund our conservation and education work.

We have had increasing success in this regard, particularly where it concerns unrestricted funds, which allow us to create long-term programmes and tackle problems when they arise.

Without our donors, we would not be able to do the work we do. For that, we thank you.

Th e following highlights are from WWF Hong Kong’s fi nances which have been audited by Grant Th ornton.

What we receivedDonations from individuals and the corporate sector continue to be our main source of income. Approximately 60 percent (HK$12 million) of individual donations were raised through our membership programmes and 37 percent (HK$5.5 million) came from a windfall legacy donation. Th e balance was from miscellaneous sources such as general donations and donation boxes.

每年，本會的專責小組都會盡力確保我們有足夠經費推行

保育及教育工作。

在籌募經費方面，本會愈來愈成功，尤其是在取得

無限制用途捐款方面。有了這些捐款，我們便可推行長遠的項目，

以及即時處理問題。

全賴各捐助者的支持，我們才得以推行各項保育及教育工作，為

此，本會衷心感激。

以下是世界自然基金會香港分會的財政摘，獲均富會計師行審核。

本會收入

本會的收入主要來自個人及公司捐款。個人捐款中約60%（即

1,200萬港元）由會員計劃籌得，另外37%（即550萬港元）則為一

筆遺產捐款，其餘的來自一般捐款及捐款箱等多個來源。

我們的公司會員計劃仍然十分成功，佔來自商界企業為主的捐款

40%（即520萬港元）。今年，本會收到國泰航空有限公司680萬港

元的慷慨捐款。而今年，本會收入的33%是獲限制用途的，由一些捐

助者選擇支持特定的保育項目。

年內共舉辦了兩個籌款活動：步走大自然及香港觀鳥大賽，為

本會籌得款項之餘，亦成功提高了公眾意識。

捐助模式

本會繼續努力尋求為期數年的捐款，如豐的華南濕地項目，令我們

可放心地推行長遠的環保解決方案，無需擔憂因缺乏經費，而要過

早結束項目。我們以無限制用途的捐款支付經常開支，盡量增加在

保育項目上的投資。

Funding sources

經費來源

Our Corporate Membership Programme continues to be a great success, contributing 40 percent (HK$5.2 million) of corporate-based revenue. Th is year we received a generous donation of HK$6.8 million from Cathay Pacifi c Airways. Th is year, 33% of our revenue was restricted by donors that prefer to fund specifi c conservation projects.

Two fundraising events were held during the year, the Walk for Nature and the Big Bird Race, which successfully increased public awareness as well as raising money.

Funding modelWe continue to seek substantial multi-year donations, such as the HSBC South China Wetlands programme, so that we can confi dently work on delivering long-term solutions without fear of having to stop prematurely due to lack of funds. We use unrestricted funds to cover overheads to allow for maximum investment in conservation.

How we spent itA major portion of our funding is allocated to our conservation programmes, with the Marine Programme (Save our Seas and No Go at Soko) and the management of the Mai Po Nature Reserve being

本會支出

本會經費主要用於推行保育項目，而投資於「拯救海洋大行動

──SOS」及「反對在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站」等海洋項目

及管理米埔自然保護區的金額最高。一如既往，我們亦大量投資於

教育項目，務求能藉此傳遞及加強保育訊息。

每年，香港分會都會支持世界自然基金會總會的工作，而我們

亦會撥出總捐款收入（不包括政府補助機構的撥款）的3.9%以協助

推行本會的全球項目。

我們會密切監察本會的開支，並承諾會盡量減少不必要的支

出。本會政策規定在出國公幹的飛行旅程方面需達致碳中和，故我

們的整體開支現亦包括購買黃金標準的碳排放權。

由2006年到2007年

相較2006年財政年度，我們的整體收入上升了60%。收入增加，除

了是基金籌募部的功勞外，部分亦因為運氣：該筆遺產及國泰航空

有限公司的捐款成為個人及公司捐款增加的主要部分。此外，我們

亦盡力設法增加捐款。有鑑政府的濕地公園開幕，本會便於米埔推

行更多專門的參觀項目，以迎合大眾對濕地和鳥類生態愈來愈濃厚

的興趣。

新員工，新挑戰

員工是我們成功推行保育項目的關鍵，所以我們積極招攬保育項目

員工，以應付更多急切的環保問題。今年，本會不但成立了氣候

小組，亦增聘了海洋項目員工，令我們的常額工作人員總數增至

80名。我們計劃於來年繼續聘請新的員工。

our prime investment opportunities. As in past years, we continue to invest heavily in educational programmes, which are essential in delivering and reinforcing our conservation eff orts.

Each year, we support the work undertaken by WWF International and our expenditure fi gures include a contribution of 3.9 percent of total donated income (excluding Government Aid organisation funding) to achieve WWF’s global initiatives.

We maintain a close watch on our expenditure and are commited to eliminating unnecessary costs. Our overall expenditures now include the purchase of Gold Standard carbon credits, as WWF has the policy of being carbon neutral for our business air travel.

From 2006 to 2007Overall, our income grew 60 percent compared with 2006, largely due to the eff orts of our fundraising team, but also thanks to an element of luck. While the legacy and the Cathay Pacifi c Airways windfall donations together accounted for the major increase in the individual and corporate revenue streams, we have worked hard to overcome funding constraints. With the opening of the government’s Wetland Park, we developed more specialist programmes at Mai Po and therefore took advantage of the rise in interest in wetlands and birdlife.

New staff, new challengesConservation cannot be delivered without people so we have focused on expanding our conservation staff to help work on more of the urgent environmental problems we face. Th is year, we set up a Climate Change team and added more Marine Programme staff , bringing our total permanent staff to 80 employees. We are planning to further increase our staff numbers in the coming year.


We are able to live on Earth only because of very fi ne ecological and geographical balances. Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been aggressively

upsetting these balances. We are consuming resources faster than this planet can supply them. Th is cannot be sustained indefi nitely. We must change our behaviour to ensure that we do not destroy our only home.

Th e conservation strategy of WWF Hong Kong is based on an integrated and holistic approach to address the environmental issues our region faces. Th e strategy is segmented into fi ve essential pillars; marine, climate, freshwater and wetlands, environmental footprint and policy. One principle behind this is that a negative impact in one segment of our environment has consequences on other facets of our planet.

For example, climate change will have a number of signifi cant impacts on the marine environment, from projected rises in water temperatures leading to coral bleaching, to possible decreased salinity due to the rapid melting of glaciers and polar ice caps. Changes in the aquatic environment, especially reefs and mangroves, will impact on the availability of fi sh and thus an essential food supply for millions of people in SE Asia and beyond. Fluctuations of global systems as a result of climate change will impact on many of the resources we need to maintain a healthy life, of which the most critical is the supply of fresh water.

全賴地球生態與地理之間的微妙關係，人類才得以在此生

存繁衍。但自工業革命以來，我們就大肆破壞這個原本

平衡的情況。我們消耗資源的速度遠超於地球供應的速

度，影響資源供應的持續性。如果我們再不改變生活習慣，只會親

手摧毀唯一的家園了。

世界自然基金會香港分會的保育策略就是要綜合和全面地處理

這個地區所面對的環境問題。因此，本會的保育策略分為五個主

要範疇:海洋、氣候、淡水及濕地、生態足印，以及陸地及保育政

策。制定策略時，我們深信，環境任何部分所受到的負面影響都會

到波及地球的其他方面。

舉例來說，氣候變化將對海洋環境造成多個重大影響。除了令

水上升，引致珊瑚白化外，而冰川及兩極冰山急速溶化，亦會令

全球海洋的含鹽度降低。水生環境的變化，特別是珊瑚礁及紅樹

林，將會對魚類的供應造成影響。不要忘記，魚類亦是東南亞及其

他地區數以百萬居民主要的食物來源。由於氣候變化，全球生態系

統亦不斷轉變，淡水供應亦會受嚴重影響，威脅我們的健康生活。

本會並非反對人類發展，而是希望地球的資源能獲平均分配和

妥善管理，讓大自然能繼續維持美麗和資源豐富。只要我們都下定

決心，減少浪費資源，便可達到這個目的。本會精心設計以科學為

基礎的環境保育項目，務求為下一代留下一個生生不息的地球。

我們需要你不斷的支持才能達成這個目的。
