We are pleased to invite you to our webinar, where we will present the newly published Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) Annual Report 2024/2025. You can download the report here (ENG) (中文).
Over the past year, we have continued our commitment to restoring biodiversity through a holistic approach inspired by our esteemed teacher, Satish Kumar. This ‘3H’ framework – engaging our Head, Heart and Hands – has proven invaluable in our work.
- Head: We have built a strong, science-based foundation in nature conservation.
- Heart: Our holistic education initiatives have transformed people's connections to nature.
- Hands: Our Green Hub and newly established Food Hub exemplify sustainable living practices.
In our upcoming webinar, titled ‘Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden – Restoring Biodiversity by Head, Heart and Hands’, we will highlight results from the past year and talk about our plans.
Join us for this interactive session, where Executive Director Wander Meijer and senior Department Heads Gary Ades, Josephine Woo and Idy Wong will discuss our biodiversity restoration work. Gary will zoom in on nature conservation, Josephine will highlight our ecological curriculum, and Idy will outline KFBG’s approach to sustainable living. The second part of the webinar will be an interactive Q&A, and we welcome all questions.
