Congratulations on your outstanding achievement!!!
We are delighted to announce the triumph of hosting three passionate students from Hong Kong, courtesy of the “University Student Sponsorship Programme in Wildlife Conservation 2023/24 (USSP).” This immersive program unfolded over two dynamic weeks, during which the students not only actively engaged in our frontline field research but also gained priceless firsthand experience in the realm of wildlife conservation. The USSP program stands out for providing an exclusive opportunity to Hong Kong university students, empowering them to serve as field volunteers and contribute directly to conservation efforts. As these students seamlessly blended into our ongoing projects, their involvement not only enriched their understanding of conservation practices but also created a valuable cultural exchange. This successful hosting experience underscores the potential for international collaboration in fostering the next generation of conservation leaders and emphasizes the significance of initiatives like USSP in building a global community dedicated to safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity.
