The annual bird race is just around the corner. To encourage more people to join this annual event, apart from the “Challenger Tournament” for experienced members and birders & “Secondary School Tournament” for secondary school students, we have added “Newbie Delight Tournament” & “Family Tournament” for beginners so that more people can be inspired to treasure the beauty of nature and to increase their consciousness of bird conservation, especially those threatened species.. Details for these new tournaments will be announced separately.
All proceeds from Bird Watching Marathon 2019 go to threaten birds conservation.
Habitats of birds have been reducing in consequence of various human activities. With addition of over-hunting, the population of these bird species are decreasing and even facing extinction. HKBWS has been working on bird conservation through education, research, habitat management and conservation advocacy. Your support lets birds soar!
