From July to August 2021, we designed and held a series of training activities for the teaching team of the Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity. The theme was about “Ecology of Hong Kong Amphibians and Reptiles”. Undergoing activities with well-designed teaching materials, professional lectures and outdoor field trips, an in-depth and comprehensive learning outcomes were achieved. Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve and Shui Hau on Lantau Island were specifically chosen for the wide coverage of biodiversity and habitats. The training has also addressed local conservation issues like the status, challenges and prospects of amphibians and reptiles.
