The first and only bird watching society in Hong Kong, i.e. the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society, was formed by a group of foreign birdwatchers in 1957 to facilitate the bird watching and recording in Hong Kong. During the past sixty years, the number of our members has reached more than 2,000 and now our members are mainly local residents. Besides promoting bird watching and advocating education and study of birds, the Society has proactively involved in the conservation of birds and their habitats. In addition, the Society has changed the volunteer-oriented operation to forming a professional team with 20 competent staff to support our surveys, studies, education and conservation work. At the same time, it is excited to see the number of bird species recorded in Hong Kong has increased from 219 to 549, which reflects a great leap forward in the discovery of the rich biodiversity of Hong Kong.
To allow us gathering again to chat about the past and the future of the Society, we cordially invite you to our 60th Anniversary Dinner Celebration, details as follows:
