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
