乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 and Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) join forces to advance habitat restoration
Initiative to boost biodiversity and ecosystem resilience
Initiative to boost biodiversity and ecosystem resilience
22 April 2025, Hong Kong (SAR), China (“Hong Kong”) – 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 and Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) have announced a three-year initiative focused on habitat restoration, which underscores both organisations’ commitment to environmental stewardship, biodiversity conservation and sustainability.
Once home to lush tropical forests, over 300 tree species and countless interconnected life forms, Hong Kong’s and surrounding regions’ biodiversity has suffered from centuries of deforestation. Today, habitat loss remains a major global threat, impacting climate stability, food security and community resilience.
Launched on Earth Day, the ‘乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 x KFBG: Boosting biodiversity and ecosystem resilience’ initiative focuses on science-based restoration of local species’ habitats, restoring habitats through planting native trees and shrubs to enhance biodiversity, monitoring and reporting of biodiversity gains from ecosystem restoration, and developing a scalable model for effective reforestation.
This initiative is part of a large-scale, long-term KFBG programme to research the best conditions for nurturing native trees and other native plant species to thrive on this hillside and to regrow into a diverse and healthy forest. 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网’s involvement will play a part and contribute to the long-term success of not only KFBG’s Habitat Restoration Programme but reforestation efforts across Hong Kong and even internationally, laying a scientific foundation and establishing a scalable model for effective reforestation.
The launch event saw Ivy Cheung, Senior Partner in Hong Kong SAR, Vice Chairman of 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 China and other 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 employees, joining KFBG’s Angela Wong, Head of Communication and Partnerships, at the KFBG site in Lam Tsuen Valley. The ceremony was followed by the planting of the first batch of native trees and shrubs. An additional Earth Day event for 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 staff and alumni will be hosted on Saturday, 26 April, and will be followed by around 20 additional activities focusing on nature conservation and promoting sustainable living over the next three years.
In 2025, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 is celebrating its 80th anniversary in Hong Kong. Over the past eight decades, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 has built lasting trust with its clients and the local community – a core value reflected in its anniversary theme, ‘80 Years of Trust.’ This project with KFBG marks a key milestone in 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网’s commitment to environmental responsibility and creating a meaningful legacy for Hong Kong.
Even before establishing the 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 Foundation in 2008, the firm had a long history of volunteering and community engagement. One of 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网’s values, ‘For Better – We do what matters,’ highlights its dedication to broader societal impact. In FY24 alone, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 people contributed ~15,850 volunteer hours nationally, driven by initiatives such as Community Day, which enables every employee to dedicate at least eight paid hours annually to volunteering.
Ivy Cheung, Senior Partner in Hong Kong SAR, Vice Chairman of 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 China, says:
This project aligns with 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网’s ESG commitments outlined in ‘Our Impact Plan’, particularly the key commitment to understand our impact on nature and biodiversity, and make positive improvements. Through this initiative, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 not only helps advance biodiversity conservation, but also provides its staff, clients and alumni with opportunities to volunteer, learn and act as responsible stewards of the planet. As we mark our 80th year in Hong Kong, we are continuing to champion nature-based solutions while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and the community.
Wander Meijer, Executive Director, KFBG, says:
We started the reforestation of the hillsides of Tai Mo Shan more than two decades ago, building on a foundation of scientific research, horticultural experience and practical experience. Our efforts have focused on using native trees, including some very rare species from our Native Tree Nursery. This reforestation has become a model for habitat restoration, which we are currently upscaling to bring back biodiversity to Hong Kong. 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 has proven to be a very enthusiastic supporter of our Habitat Restoration programme and with this support and the expertise they can bring to the project, we expect to be able to further expand and accelerate our Reforestation and Habitat Restoration efforts.
This initiative exemplifies the critical role of business leadership in tackling biodiversity loss and climate change. By investing in nature-based solutions, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 and KFBG are setting a benchmark for corporate environmental action, demonstrating that ecological health is the foundation of a sustainable future.
