『 Environment and Conservation Fund - Towards Carbon-free Future 』 Last Saturday, Life Jungle held an "Upcycling shell art workshop". Instructor Debbie Bailey@Messageinashellhk taught participants how to transform recycled shells into beautiful works of art. Participants also learned about " recycling and turning wastes into resources." and the importance of waste recycling. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the event together!

Officially entering the summer vacation, on July 12, the first stop of the environmental tour organized by the Life Jungle Association led everyone to visit O.PARK 1. After visiting O.PARK 1, the participants learned what food waste is, and realized that Hong Kong society throws away about 3,600 tons of food waste every day, which is equivalent to 20,000,000 apples (apple = 182 grams). They also realized how the facility can turn waste into energy, adopting anaerobic digestion and composting technology to convert source-sorted food waste into biogas and compost, and use biogas to generate electricity. Through visiting O.PARK 1, we learned more about the possibility of turning waste into energy. At the same time, the association still hopes that participants can reflect on the necessity of reducing food waste and other waste, through waste reduction at the source and promote sustainable development to protect nature and move towards a carbon-free future. We will bring you more interesting and educational activities later, so stay tuned!

On November 12, the Life Jungle Association and KOREAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE carried out a beach cleaning activity in Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island. On that day, more than hundred of Korean living in Hong Kong came to participate in this meaningful event , we are also very happy and honored to get support from the Korean consulate in Hong Kong, as well as various Korean organizations! We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all!! In just a few hours of beach cleaning, we have collected more than 300 kg of marine debris, most of which are plastic bottles, plastic bottle caps, plastic boxes and styrofoam pellets for daily use. . . We really hope that everyone can do reflection together: Before every consumption, we can think about 2 questions: 1. "Do you need it?" 2. "Do you have it already?" One small step can make big change to the environment. Let’s all help save the ocean!

大木林蜘蛛/斑絡新婦 （Nephila pilipes）俗稱人面蜘蛛，在香港郊區極度常見，偏好住在沒有陽光直射的環境，也是目前香港本地蜘蛛中體型最大的蜘蛛。香港甚至曾經有捕食鳥類以及蝙蝠的記錄。 人面蜘蛛主要有兩種形態，一種為黃黑色形態而另一種為純黑色形態，目前南丫島中兩種形態皆可遇見。 平常大家遇見的黃黑色或者純黑色大蜘蛛其實都是雌性，腳與腳之間大概闊15cm，身長大概5cm。雄性則比較細小，通常只有雌性的五分之一，大約小指頭的指甲大小，而其鮮紅色的身體亦非常容易辨認。
