Dr. Fernanda Cardoso is a Restoration Ecologist in the Flora Conservation Department at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG). Her main focus is on plant ecology in tropical forests. At KFBG, she investigates the factors driving restoration success to help plan native forest restoration in the region. In this session, participants will visit one of KFBG’s restoration projects at the Butterfly Path, led by Fernanda, to learn how we are transforming a degraded, low-biodiversity site infested with invasive species into a vibrant, biodiversity-rich ecosystem through enrichment planting with native plants. This project creates a sanctuary for many threatened native plant species and supports myriad dependent wildlife, while showcasing the stunning and often unseen botanical flora that call Hong Kong’s countryside home.

Income will be used to support KFBG's plant conservation work. Spaces are limited, so sign up now!
