About the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden
About KFBG
Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) is situated on the northern slopes of Hong Kong’s highest mountain – Tai Mo Shan (957 metres). Within KFBG are streams, woodlands, orchards and vegetable terraces – together with conservation and education facilities. KFBG, today, is a unique public-private partnership, incorporated and designated as a conservation and education centre by Ordinance (Chapter 1156) in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong on 20th January, 1995. While KFBG is a public organisation, it is privately funded by the Kadoorie Foundation. Since 1995, KFBG has focused on promoting conservation and sustainable living in Hong Kong and South China, with programmes on flora and fauna conservation and the promotion of organic agricultural practices. KFBG’s mission statement is “We exist to increase the awareness of our relationship with the environment and bring about positive change in the world through conservation and education”. 關於本園 嘉道理農場暨植物園(本園)位於本港最高山脈大帽山(957米)北坡下。園內清溪匯流,翠林環抱,還有不少果園和梯田,以及各種保育及教育設施。 今天的嘉道理農場暨植物園是一間獨特的公私營合作機構。在1995年1月20日,立法局通過嘉道理農場暨植物園公司條例(第1156章),本園正式成為保育及教育中心。本園雖為公共機構,但經費是來自私營的嘉道理基金。 自1995年起,本園致力於推廣香港和華南地區的保育及永續生活,並推行各類計劃促進動植物保育和有機農業。 本園的使命是「本園致力提高大眾對人與環境關係的認識,透過保育和教育,積極改善世界」。
