Cameron Dueck Explored Beyond the Beaten Track
a tale of two cities CAMERON DUECK EXPLORED BEYOND THE BEATEN TRACK AROUND THE WATERS OF HIS HOMETOWN, HONG KONG Baona/Getty The old and the new: a traditional junk crosses the glassy waters of Hong Kong Harbour 52 53 ‘Hong Kong is so much more than just a glittering metropolis’ We had just dropped the anchor in a small bay, and I was standing on the deck of our Hallberg-Rassy, surveying the turquoise water and shore that rose steep and green around us. At one end of the bay stood a ramshackle cluster of old British military buildings and an abandoned pearl farm, now covered in vines that were reclaiming the land, while through the mouth of the bay I could see a few high- prowed fishing boats working the South China Sea. I felt drunk with the thrill of new discovery, even though we were in our home waters. I was surprised that I’d never seen this gem of a spot before, and it made me wonder what else I’d find. Hong Kong has been my home for nearly 15 years, during which I’ve hiked from its lush valleys to the tops of its mountain peaks and paddled miles of its rocky shoreline in a sea kayak. I pride myself in having seen Lui/EyeEm/Getty Siu Kwan many of the far-flung corners of this territory. The little-known beauty of Hong Kong’s Sai Kung district I’ve also been an active weekend sailor, crewing on racing yachts and sailing out of every local club.

Literature Review
Annex 9A Ecology – Literature Review LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION A literature review was conducted to review the baseline ecological characters of the Assessment Area, identify habitat resources and species of potential conservation importance, and identify information gaps to determine whether field surveys are required to provide sufficient information for the Ecological Impact Assessment. This Annex presents the findings of this literature review. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA 9A.1.2.1 Marine Parks Ordinance (Cap. 476) and its Subsidiary Legislation The Marine Parks Ordinance (Cap. 476) provides for the designation, control and management of marine parks and marine reserves. It also stipulates the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation as the Country and Marine Parks Authority which is advised by the Country and Marine Parks Board. The Marine Parks and Marine Reserves Regulation was enacted in July 1996 to provide for the prohibition and control of certain activities in marine parks or marine reserves. 9A.1.2.2 Wild Animals Protection Ordinance (Cap. 170) Under the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance (Cap. 170), designated wild animals are protected from being hunted, whilst their nests and eggs are protected from destruction and removal. All birds and most mammals including all cetaceans are protected under this Ordinance, as well as certain reptiles (including all sea turtles), amphibians and invertebrates. The Second Schedule of the Ordinance that lists all the animals protected was last revised in June 1997. 9A.1.2.3 Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586) The Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586) was enacted to align Hong Kong’s control regime with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

For Discussion on 23 February 2009 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL
CB(1) 807/08-09(04) For discussion on 23 February 2009 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS Proposal to set up a Geopark in Hong Kong PURPOSE This paper seeks members’ advice on the proposal to set up a geopark in Hong Kong. BACKGROUND 2. Most people have the impression that Hong Kong is a crowded concrete jungle with only tower blocks and shopping malls. Less people are aware of the fact that we also have sylvan environments of stunning natural beauty. In this small territory of 1,100 square kilometres, more than half of the land is wooded mountains and ravines. While much of Hong Kong’s wild terrains boast high biodiversity, which has attracted growing attention in recent years, also harboured within our landscape are some extraordinary but lesser known geodiversity, such as multifarious rock formations and geographical features. In last year’s Policy Address, as a part of the Government’s continuous effort to enhance overall quality of life, the Chief Executive announced that the Government would set up its first geopark under the framework of the Country Parks Ordinance and Marine Parks Ordinance, with a view to better conserving our geological landscapes as well as promoting geoeducation and geoscience popularization. 3. The Geopark programme was initiated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1999, and was launched in 2004. The definition of geopark is “geological site of special scientific significance, rarity or beauty; together with geological significance, these sites must also have high archaeological, ecological, historical or cultural value”. At present there are 57 global geoparks worldwide, which are located in 18 countries, and 20 of these parks are in the Mainland.

Professional geological experts from the Geological Society of Hong Kong and experienced eco-guides will introduce the geological features and eco-environment of Hong Kong, in order to enhance public awareness on conservation of ecological environment. The Charity Green Walk is fully supported by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, the Geological Society of Hong Kong, Sai Kung District Council, Tai Po District Council, North District Council, Polar Museum Foundation and HK Discovery. Four new routes covering Tung Ping Chau, East Dam of High Island Reservoir, Ma Shi Chau and Po Toi Island will be introduced, in addition to the two original routes of Northeast New Territories Sedimentary Rock Region (Grass Island) and Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Region (Sharp Island and Jin Island) which will be enhanced. Over 100 BOCHK staff members volunteered as eco-ambassadors will offer assistance during the tours. In support of “Green” education, the BOCHK Charitable Foundation will continually sponsor all relevant costs. Each participant is required to pay an enrolment fee of HK$30, which will be donated to Polar Museum Foundation for educational and conservation causes.
