Five lectures were given to the sponsors and students to enrich their knowledge on birds, mammals and their habitats. Through the lectures, students learned species identification, monitoring methods and conservation work in Hong Kong.
5 field trips also provided opportunities for students to learn the skills of eco-tour guiding and gain animals searching experiences. They were well trained to become a guide to do narration and interpretation to the sponsors in Kenya.
