Field Trip Report in KFBG
Background Information
In order to learn more about the conservation of natural resources, a field trip was held on 30th October, 2013. It took place in Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG). The field trip enables us to experience how to implement the conservation of natural resources, such as water and farming and helps explain what we have learnt in class. After going the fantastic field trip, I have learnt a lot from KFBG. That impressive knowledge is not only something that I have never heard, but also something that I even cannot imaginable.
Field Observations The observations and knowledge acquired can be divided into three parts which are wildlife, farming and water conservation. First of all, for wildlife, helping protect our local and regional biodiversity are the main goals of KFBG in fauna conservation aspect. One of the methods is to educate members of public through wildlife rescue work. There are different wild animal shown in KFBG, for instance, wild board, bats and barking deer. All of the wildlife shown in the centre is not brought from the others. They are all donated by the charities or rescued from the injured wildlife. It is one of the means as a role model to educate the public that we should refuse all illegal trade of animals. Among those animal displayed, the most impressive animal is bat. As the different lifestyle between human and bat, never do I observe them before I visit KFBG. Bat is the sole flying mammal across the globe. Their forelimbs have evolved to webbed wings, and there are touching sensory organs used to detect the air flow and help flight. There are 26 kinds of bats in Hong Kong. 24 kinds of them are insect bats and the rest of two are fruit bats. The major different of them is that the insect bats use echolocation to locate their food and move at twilight for preventing from hitting the other flying objects whereas the fruit bats have eyes which can distinguish color and it would be
