🐋【鯨豚保育大使計劃小總結】

「Think Outside the Box」展覽除了11項由學者與本地藝術家聯手創作的展品外,放在走廊的三件藝術創作,其實同樣大有來頭!

三件作品由 嶺南衡怡紀念中學 的老師,帶領 15 位參與「鯨豚與生物多樣性展覽暨保育大使計劃(第一期)」(嶺南教育機構贊助) 的大使親手製作。他們以江豚、朗氏喙豚及中華白海豚等鯨豚為靈感,並融入海洋噪音與鬼網(海洋垃圾)等議題,喚起大家對生態污染的關注。

創作期間,同學們更參與了由科學教研部研究團隊帶領的「大澳生態及鯨豚考察活動」。結合藝術創作與實地考察,深入了解迫在眉睫的海洋危機。在展覽期間,他們更親自駐場,向公眾介紹自己的學習與創作成果。

我們衷心感謝嶺南衡怡紀念中學師生對生態教育的貢獻與對展覽的支持,與我們一同將海洋保育訊息傳遞給更多同路人💙

🐋 Cetacean Conservation Ambassador Programme: Wrap-Up

Beyond the 11 signature artworks created by our scholars and local artists, the "Think Outside the Box" exhibition featured three unique student-led installations along the gallery hallway!

These pieces were created by teachers and 15 student ambassadors from Lingnan Hang Yee Memorial Secondary School (LHYMSS) as part of the Cetaceans and Biodiversity Exhibition Cum Conservation Ambassador Programme (Phase I) sponsored by the Lingnan Education Organization. Inspired by species like Finless Porpoises, Longman’s Beaked Whales, and Chinese White Dolphins—the designs visually incorporate issues like noise pollution and ghost nets to raise public awareness about marine pollution.

To deepen their understanding, the ambassadors joined the Tai O Cetacean & Biodiversity Field Trip led by our Division of Science research team. By combining hands-on field research with artistic expression, students learned to view urgent marine threats through the eyes of the cetaceans themselves. During the exhibition, they were on-site to guide visitors and present their learning outcomes.

A heartfelt thank you to the teachers and students of LHYMSS for their dedication to ecological education and their support for this exhibition. Together, we are taking meaningful steps toward protecting our oceans! 💙

Think Outside the Box Exhibition Review: Two Weeks of Shared Journeys, A Decade of Dedication

"Think Outside the Box" was our very first public exhibition. Co-organized with Seika Studio, we hosted a series of guided tours, family workshops, eco-tours and academic seminars. Engaging local students, teachers and 800 citizens across various backgrounds, the event invited everyone to delve into vital environmental and ecological issues.

🌲 "Life in the Soil – Fall Foliage Features" Workshop 🍂

Hosted by Ms. Kami Hui Shuk-kwan, PhD student at the Division of Science (DoS), this activity explored Central's stone wall tree leaf litter and offered a close-up observation of pill bugs and other detritivores.

🦀"Coastal in the Microscope: Discovering Local Intertidal Life Up Close" Eco Tour🌊

Led by Prof. Tommy Hui (Assistant Professor, DoS) and Ms. Phoebe Leung (MPhil student, DoS), this tour took participants to Tai O rocky shores to learn about common intertidal species in Hong Kong.

🐢 "Wildlife Trade In Hong Kong" Seminar🐍

Dr. Chloe Webster (Research Assistant Professor, DoS), discussed how scientists trace the origins of confiscated species and how law enforcement agencies effectively combat transnational wildlife trafficking.

📚 Art Workshops ✒️

Seika Studio invited local artists, including Ms. Connie Cheng, Ms. Apple Cheuk, and Ms. Lio Sze Mei, to host the “Plant-Gel Printmaking Workshop” and "Miniature Picture Book Workshop", guiding participants to express their imagination of nature through art.

When science meets art, we interpret and feel nature in new ways. The "Think Outside the Box" Sci-Art Exhibition encouraged the public to explore vital environmental issues researched by our teams for over a decade, providing a creative platform to express their connection to nature.

🙇‍♀️ Thank you for coming! See you next time! 🙇‍♂️

🌿 "Think Outside the Box" Eco-Art Exhibition Comes to a Successful Close 🌿

To mark its 10th anniversary, the Division of Science (DoS) of Lingnan University co-organized a two-week eco-art exhibition with Seika Studio in June at PMQ. We are deeply grateful for the generous sponsorship from the Lingnan Education Organization (LEO). Featuring 11 artworks created through collaborations between DoS scholars and local artists, the exhibition blended science with art to raise public awareness of vital ecological and sustainability issues.

The opening ceremony brought together representatives from the Environmental Protection Department (EPD), academic institutions, partner organizations, conservation groups, and passionate environmental advocates. The event kicked off with a guided tour led by Mr. Duncan Yiu, Co-founder of Seika Studio and Curator of the exhibition, who shared the stories behind each artwork. This was followed by remarks from Mr. Augustine Ngok-che Lui, Chairman of LEO, and Prof. Paulina Pun-yun Wong, Head and Associate Professor of DoS. Together, they reflected on the Division’s decade-long achievements and outlined its future vision.

As the exhibition draws to a close, we express our sincere gratitude for your steadfast support over the past decade and look forward to continuing our joint efforts toward a sustainable future.

研究團隊早前深入大嶼山進行淡水大型無脊椎動物的樣本採集,目前已經正式完成第一個旱季的採集工作啦!團隊調查了大嶼山共 10 條溪流並進行樣本採集,藉此評估這些微細的水生生物如何被人為活動影響,從而更清晰、更準確地了解大嶼山溪流的生物多樣性。

目前,團隊正在實驗室進行旱季樣本物種鑑定和記錄工作。根據初步數據,我們在其中一條溪流、僅僅 200 米的範圍內,就已經錄得了接近 40 種物種! 🤩與此同時,新一輪的雨季樣本採集工作亦已正式展開!🌧️🌊究竟旱季與雨季的溪流大型無脊椎動物群落之間,會不會存在巨大的差異呢?想知道我們在兩個季節中會發現哪些大型無脊椎動物?🔔請記得密切留意我們的最新動態!

Our research team recently headed out to Lantau Island for freshwater macroinvertebrate sampling, and we have officially completed our first dry season collection! We surveyed a total of 10 streams across Lantau, assessing how these tiny aquatic animals are affected by human disturbances to get a clearer and more accurate picture of Lantau’s stream biodiversity.

Currently, the team is working in the laboratory to identify and document all species from our dry season samples. Our preliminary data recorded nearly 40 species within just a 200-meter reach of a single stream! 🤩 Meanwhile, our wet season field collection work has officially commenced 🌧️🌊! Will there be a huge difference between the dry and wet season stream macroinvertebrate communities? Curious to see what fascinating aquatic macroinvertebrates we discover across both seasons? 🔔 Remember to stay tuned for our latest updates.

【🚨 Uncover the "Illegal Wildlife Trade" Conspiracy | Special Seminar】
Have you ever wondered where the dried seahorses in medicine shops, the live groupers in restaurants, or the parrots in pet shops come from? Are they being traded legally?
Many people feel wildlife trade is distant, but Hong Kong is actually one of the world's major hubs for both legal and illegal wildlife trade! This commerce allows many critically endangered species to be quietly trafficked across the globe... 😨

For this seminar, we have invited Dr. Chloe Hatten to share how the "illegal wildlife trade" operates and how we can combat these illicit activities.

📍 Seminar Highlights:
Smugglers exploit legal loopholes, for example, by falsely declaring wild-caught animals as "captive-bred" to deceive customs. To stop them, scientists utilize DNA barcoding and Stable Isotope Analysis to pinpoint exact origins and verify sources. The seminar will discuss how enforcement agencies protect endangered animals through regulatory improvements and transnational cooperation.

📍 Speaker Profile:
Chloe is a Postdoctoral Junior Research Fellow at Lingnan University. Her PhD research focused on the trade and conservation of the critically endangered helmeted hornbill. She previously worked at HKU’s Conservation Forensics Lab, using techniques like genetics, stable isotope analysis, and online trade monitoring to understand what species are being traded, and assist government wildlife enforcement.

📅 Event Details:
Date: 28th June, 2026 (Sunday)
Time: 2-3pm
Venue: Hong Kong Maritime Museum (Central Star Ferry Pier No. 8)
Fee: Free of charge
Language: English

Target Audience: Anyone who cares about animal conservation, is interested in forensic science, or wants to protect our planet! 👇 Don't hesitate—click the link below (or link in bio) to register and reserve your seat now!

【🚨解構 「非法野生動物貿易」的陰謀|專題研討會 】
大家有否想過在藥材舖的海馬乾、酒樓的活石斑魚和寵物店的鸚鵡到底從哪裡來?牠們是經合法途徑銷售嗎?

很多人覺得非法野生動物貿易很陌生,但其實香港正正是全球合法和非法野生動物貿易的重要樞紐之一!這些貿易讓很多面臨絕種危機的生物被悄悄運往世界各地……😨
這次,我們邀請了 Dr. Chloe Hatten 跟大家分享「非法野生動物貿易」是如何進行,以及如何用科學鑑證打擊這些非法行為。

📍講座內容:
不法分子常利用法律漏洞,例如將「野外捕獲」的瀕危動物虛報成「人工繁殖」走私。為攔截交易,科學家會運用 DNA 條碼技術和穩定同位素分析(Stable Isotope Analysis),快速鎖定物種來源並分辨野生或人工培育。研討會將探討執法部門如何透過完善法規與跨國合作,打擊跨國走私集團。
📍講者簡介:
Chloe 是香港嶺南大學博士後研究員,專注於極危物種頦盔犀鳥的貿易與保育。她曾於香港大學的保育法醫學實驗室工作,負責研發基因組學、穩定同位素分析、線上貿易監測及空間模型等技術追蹤被非法交易的物種,協助政府在野生動物個案中執法。

日期: 2026年6月28日(星期日)
時間: 2-3pm
地點: 香港海事博物館 (香港中環八號碼頭)
