Dialogue with Dr Jane Goodall

 

Jane Goodall went to the Gombe Stream Reserve in East Africa when she was 26.  In a 2010 interview, Jane mentioned she just planned to stay there for three years.  Yet, this turned out to be her lifelong career, as well as her legacy.  What drives Jane into the wild?  What did she witness?  And what is her message to Hong Kong?  Join us at The Education University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Science Museum, Dialogue with Dr Jane Goodall.

Symposium on human dimension on wildlife conservation and education for sustainability

Wildlife conservation is one of the major foci in maintaining environmental sustainability.  However, the effort is not only limited to the conservation measures applied in the countryside or rural areas. As a cosmopolitan city and international hub, Hong Kong plays a role in depleting natural resources worldwide. The aim of this symposium is to explore how wildlife conservation could be achieved through four aspects in the human dimension — education, community engagement, green finance and ecotourism. Through the talk by the internationally renowned conservationist Dr Jane Goodall and cases shared by local experts, participants of the symposium would be enlightened on how we humans could contribute to wildlife conservation in a highly urbanised city.
