Lecture 1: Traces Lost: Locally Extinct Animals in Hong Kong

  • Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
  • Time: 15:00–15:45
  • Fee: Free (A HK$50 deposit is required)

Many people know that tigers roamed Hong Kong a century ago, but beyond tigers, various large mammals and species once settled here before quietly disappearing. We once had the chance to encounter these magnificent creatures in our own backyard.

This lecture covers species that faced local extinction due to urban development and analyzes Hong Kong’s native biodiversity through its environmental and climatic history over the past 10,000 years.

Lecture 2: Baffling Creatures in Natural History

  • Date: Sunday, October 11, 2026
  • Time: 15:00–15:45
  • Fee: Free (A HK$50 deposit is required)

Natural History is the study of identifying, classifying, and collecting living organisms across the globe before modern science became highly specialized. Yet, are humans truly omniscient? This lecture introduces living and extinct organisms that completely baffled naturalists throughout history, including mysteries that remain unsolved even in 2026.
