在2026年世界地球日這個重要日子，香港地質公園透過豐富多元的公眾活動，引導社會大眾認識生態環境價值、關注可持續發展，以實際行動愛護地球和保護環境。

今年地球日活動涵蓋知識分享、體驗與行動三個範疇。香港地質公園與深圳大鵬半島國家地質公園和香港科學館合作🤝🏼籌劃的「深港雙城自然科普主題展」，於2026年4月22日至6月15日於香港科學館展覽廳隆重舉行。

另外，香港地質公園於新界東北沉積岩園區的鴨洲、吉澳及荔枝窩舉辦公眾導賞活動，讓參加者親身走進自然🍀🦋，感受香港獨特的地質景觀與生態環境，加深對本土自然資源的認識，因而加倍珍惜。

與此同時，香港地質公園舉辦四場以環境保護為主題的公開講座，內容從海洋垃圾對海洋生態系統🌊🐟的深遠影響，到跑山愛好者目睹郊野廢物棄置後的反思，探討再造物料及可持續生產的創新應用；再到運用生活智慧，將日常廢物升級改造為實用器具；最後從歷史與文化角度解讀遺留於郊野的廢棄物，發掘其背後的時代故事，拼湊出香港近百年生活文化的演變軌跡。

此外，地質公園也聯合多個合作夥伴，從今年三月至年底舉行多次郊野與海岸清潔活動。由認識到反思，由理念到行動🧠✨，香港地質公園積極鼓勵公眾透過實際參與，支持環境保護。

【Earth Day 2026 and the 7th APGN Week】
Hong Kong Geopark: Protecting the Earth through Knowledge, Experience and Action❤️‍🔥

On this significant occasion of Earth Day 2026, Hong Kong Geopark encouraged the public to appreciate the value of our natural environment and focus on sustainable development through a diverse range of activities aimed at cherishing the Earth and protecting the environment.

This year's Earth Day activities encompassed three main areas: knowledge sharing, experiential learning and action. Hong Kong Geopark has jointly organised an exhibition with Shenzhen Dapeng Peninsula National Geopark and the Hong Kong Science Museum🤝🏼, held from April 22 to June 15 in the exhibition hall of the Hong Kong Science Museum.

In addition, Hong Kong Geopark hosted public guided tours in geopark attractions in the Northeast New Territories, including Ap Chau, Kat O and Lai Chi Wo, allowing participants to immerse themselves in nature, experience Hong Kong's unique geological landscapes and ecological environments, and deepen their understanding and appreciation of our local natural resources🍀🦋.

At the same time, Hong Kong Geopark held four public lectures on environmental protection, covering a wide range of topics: the profound impact of marine debris on ocean ecosystems🌊🐟; reflections from outdoor enthusiasts on waste disposal in natural settings; exploring innovative applications of recycled materials and sustainable production methods; and sharing practical wisdom on transforming everyday waste into useful items. Lastly, the lectures examined the historical and cultural aspects of waste items left in the countryside, uncovering the stories behind them and tracing the evolution of Hong Kong's lifestyle and culture over the past century.

Additionally, Hong Kong Geopark is collaborating with various partners to organise several cleanup activities in the countryside and coastal areas from March to the end of the year. From awareness to reflection, and from ideas to action🧠✨, Hong Kong Geopark actively encourages the public to support environmental protection.

🌳Shenzhen and Hong Kong Joint Exhibition on Nature and Science Popularisation✨

In celebration of 🌏Earth Day on 22 April, the Shenzhen Urban Planning and Natural Resources Bureau and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of the HKSAR jointly launched the "Shenzhen and Hong Kong Joint Exhibition on Nature and Science Popularisation". The exhibition, organised by Shenzhen Dapeng Peninsula National Geopark, Hong Kong Geopark and the Hong Kong Science Museum, will run from 22 April to 15 June in the 📍G/F exhibition hall of the Hong Kong Science Museum (closed on Thursdays). 🎯

Shenzhen and Hong Kong share the same breathtaking mountains and seas and a rich geological and ecological evolutionary history. Both regions are part of a vast volcanic area🌋 from the early Cretaceous period and have experienced similar geological transformations. Their ecosystems are interconnected🦎, with shared forests and oceans. The exhibition explores various themes, including geological history, geological heritage, ecological resources, nature conservation, environmental protection, and the planning and development of liveable cities in both regions. It features an array of specimens and promotional souvenirs that invite citizens to gain a deeper appreciation of the natural treasures shared by Shenzhen and Hong Kong.🐬🌱

The exhibition opening ceremony took place on the morning of 22 April at the Hong Kong Science Museum. Notable attendees included Ms. Ester To, Assistant Director (Country Parks) of Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department; and Mr. Lau Kai-ip, Director of the Hong Kong Science Museum, alongside representatives from the Shenzhen Dapeng Peninsula National Geopark Management Office, the Guangdong Neilingding Futian National Nature Reserve Administration Bureau, the Shenzhen Wutong Mountain Scenic Area Management Office, the Shenzhen Nature Reserve Management Center, the Shenzhen Urban Planning & Land Resource Research Center, Hong Kong Geopark and the Hong Kong Science Museum. This meaningful gathering facilitated in-depth discussions on nature conservation, public education, urban planning and development in the two cities. 😉🤝🏻

The organisers aim for the exhibition to enlighten citizens about the precious natural resources of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, as well as the significant achievements both places have made in cultivating environmentally friendly and liveable cities. A special interactive area featuring commemorative postcards and stamping will be available at the exhibition, with limited supplies — don’t miss out!
