City Nature Challenge 2020: Hong Kong's Journal

May 6, 2020

CNC Hong Kong: Thankyou!

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you all well, safe and healthy in these difficult times.

The City Nature Challenge results are in!

Despite global lockdowns, 41,165 observers from 244 cities around the world came together to document biodiversity adding over 815,000 observations to iNaturalist database. An incredible feat!

As for us, Hong Kong recorded 3007 species in 4 days with only Cape Town and Houston/Galveston recording more. We are also the Top City in Asia for amount of observations and observers.

To all of you that was involved in taking pictures and offering identifications, I wish to say a HUGE thank you! Hong Kong has incredible biodiversity and I urge you all to continue your iNaturalist journey. You never know what we might find! We go again next year.

Cheers!
Shaun

CNC Starts Tomorrow!

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you all well, safe and healthy in these difficult times.

The City Nature Challenge starts tomorrow yet, along with the other 260 competing cities worldwide, all preparations have had to be massively downscaled because of COVID-19.

Many organisations/schools/etc are unable to contribute in the ways that they wished yet I sincerely hope you can still get involved albeit personally and in an appropriate manner. If you are planning to head out over the next four days, please keep appropriate hygiene measures as well as social distancing.

When the Final Results are published on May 4th, the Main Organisers will focus on the worldwide numbers instead of the winners of categories. I will pass on all information to you as and when I receive it. Regardless of what happens, I hope we will all be able to contribute more meaningfully next year.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
In the meantime, please keep safe and healthy.

Cheers!
Shaun

CNC & COVID-19

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you all healthy, safe and well.

COVID-19 is affecting many CNC cities, yet after much discussion, the Main Organisers have decided to keep the CNC event scheduled for April 24-27 (observations) and April 28-May 3 (identifications). However, this year’s City Nature Challenge is no longer a competition freeing participants up to contribute in any way they can.

Please visit the CNC & COVID-19 FAQ page: https://citynaturechallenge.org/covid19/

I know that many of you are very prolific with your observations, and have been fantastic contributors to Hong Kong's CNC efforts, yet it seems very wrong of me to encourage you to go out during these times. All I can say is that IF you do go out during the CNC, please take all the necessary precautions and follow government guidelines to ensure your safety and that of your community.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask here or through email: smartin@wwf.org.hk
I'll be giving more updates as and when they come in. :)

Cheers!
Shaun

CNC - It's that time of year again....

Hi everyone and especially to my fellow HongKongers!

We've had a tough six months and there may be tougher months ahead. But I urge you to come together for 4 days at the end of April to celebrate our unique habitats and biodiversity and showcase them to the World.

You have been tagged as you are one of the most prolific iNaturalist observers and identifiers in Hong Kong and I would love for you to get involved in the City Nature Challenge this year!

As you know the CITY NATURE CHALLENGE is a FANTASTIC worldwide project to increase engagement with nature. Once again, Hong Kong has entered this competition with over 260 cities worldwide and all participants have to do is take photographs of nature (trees, plants, insects, birds, fungi, fish, reptiles, rocky shore/mangrove sps etc) and upload them onto iNaturalist. That's it!!!

Competition Dates: Friday 24th April - Monday 27th April
Identification Dates: Tuesday 28th April - Sunday 3rd May

Examples of involvement could include:

1) Incorporate the CNC 2020 in any activity (research, data collection, nature walk, mini-bioblitz, shopping trip!, etc) already planned between April 24-27th. (Or organise an activity specifically for the CNC 2020 on these dates)

2) Join any CNC activity happening on these dates. I shall be constantly updating such activities on the FB event page and the Connect With Nature website. (Details below).

3) Encourage students, colleagues, clients and friends to participate in the CNC 2020 through official channels or personal networks.

4) Assistance in identifying species on the iNaturalist project in the week following the CNC 2020.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask here or through email: smartin@wwf.org.hk
I'll be giving more updates as and when they come in. :)

Cheers!
Shaun
