Hong Kong Bird Watching Society
Future direction and objectives (2007)

•We should continue to have a broad membership bases

2. Continue being the authority on HK birds
•Improve bird record system, e.g. web-based

•We like to expand our work also to other area
•We need to build up our knowledge on habitat management, for future usein HK and China
•Some members feel that this is not the key business for HKBWS
4. Strengthen wildlife education in secondary schools
•At present we have not invested much on secondary school wildlife education. I would like to see a wildlife society jointly organized by HK secondary schools.
•Some members think itis better for HKBWS to focus on bird watching alone in school education.
5. Increase support from staff members
•At present we have 4 full-time staff members
•We need a bigger office and foresee that staff number will rise to 6-8 in the next few years
•We need a policy to retain our staff permanently, by having a long salaryladder and chance of promotion

•Strengthen the capacity of the HKBWS office, such as set up the post of a director or CEO.
6. Actively involved in the promotion of bird watching, bird survey and conservation work in Mainland China
•Work with the China Ornithological Society to publish the China bird listannually. Help publish the China Bird Report
•Participate in the Federation of China Bird Watching Societies to help tobuild bird watching societies in China
•Promote wildlife watching and education in China
•Support and assist the organizing of bird survey, such as the coastal waterbird survey in Mainland China
•This is a good time for promoting bird watching in Mainland China since economical condition continue to be good
•There are signs that birdwatching organizations in Chinawill be up to standard for a long time, HKBWS need to step up efforts to carryout some aspects of bird watching promotion
7. Cooperate more with Birdlife International, establish Hong Kong as one of the leading centers in Asia
•As the Taiwan issuemay be solved soon, Hong Kong should decide tobecome a partner of Birdlife International
•Hong Kong can take a more active role in Asia
•It is possible that HKBWS can play an important role in Asiadivision of BirdLife International if we become the Partner of BirdLife International (right now we are the Affiliated Member)
•If HKBWS can collect more bird information of China through surveys and research, we can take up a much more important position in Asia region.
