The Conservancy Association, founded in 1968, is the non-government environmental organisation with the longest history in Hong Kong. As a champion of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, we have worked on different conservation projects in the past, like Hainan Gibbon conservation, forest rehabilitation in Northwest China, forest conservation by promoting biogas toilet in Yunnan, wetland and tree conservations in Hong Kong. Our mission is to ensure that Hong Kong shoulders her regional and global environmental responsibilities and promotes the rich biodiversity of Hong Kong. We achieve this by carrying out environmental education, taking a lead in community participation, developing different biodiversity conservation demonstration models and advocating appropriate policies.
