Info

From the late 90s to now… • The government has included more native species in its restoration project (normally not more than 50%); • The government is conducting large scale thinning and enrichment planting in exotic plantations; • Commercial nurseries have steady supply of a limited number of native tree and shrub species (c. 20 species) • The government is also planting more native tree and shrub species on roadside slopes • The landscape level restoration approach is yet to be adopted by the government.
Experiences from Hong Kong ‣ Landscape level approach is needed for large scale reforestation ‣ Identify the real barriers (natural and artificial) to forest regeneration ‣ Reset priorities. In our case, fire prevention obviously has much higher priority. ‣ Natural succession alone can only restore native biomass, human intervention is needed to restore diversity. ‣ Lobbying the Government is important
