To promote Hong Kong’s treasured ecologies and outline the city’s natural history, Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre and Hong Kong Science Museum jointly present Ecology in The Making (1816-present) at Hong Kong Science Museum from today until 14 April 2021. The exhibition showcases valuable records and replicas dating back to the early 19th century, and to contemporary depictions made by local “amateur naturalists”.

Throughout the exhibition, visitors not only learn about the making of Hong Kong ecological knowledge but also more about Hong Kong history and biodiversity. Curated by Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre with the participation of 9 HKU students and the assistance of HKU scholars in the 2-year research, this exhibition is the first extensive survey of Hong Kong’s amateur naturalists.
