Butterfly paradise under threat from land development projects in Hong Kong
  • 4 years ago
Hong Kong is home to more than 260 butterfly species, including varieties from southern China, East Asia and South Asia. But their numbers are dwindling as butterfly habitats are being destroyed by land development projects. Green Power, a local NGO, has been leading a butterfly conservation programme that aims to record the living conditions of the beautiful flying insects, and to promote ecological education among Hong Kong people.
