“牠它他的生态半部曲”是香港首个以“业余博物学家”为主题的展览。此次展览将透过12个人物的故事,将香港生态保育及研究的早期进程呈现于公众眼前。
Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre proudly presents Ecology In The Making – A History of Amateur Naturalists in Hong Kong. This 3-month exhibition explores for the first time, the stories of 12 individuals who contributed to the making of modern ‘ecology’ in Hong Kong from 1816 to 1984.
Amateur naturalists were curious about the natural world around them. Not scientists or professionals, they nevertheless made important scientific contributions to our understanding of fields as diverse as birds, butterflies, frogs and geology. Together, their encounters with the different species of Hong Kong and the works of knowledge they produced create space for us to explore how we too, can become amateur naturalists in our daily life.
业余博物学家泛指所有对鸟类、蝴蝶、昆虫、地质构造等大自然事物感兴趣,却非专业科学领域从业人员的人,纯粹凭借对万物的好奇,便一头栽进大自然千丝万缕的关系中。他们的热忱不单丰富了人类对大自然的理解,更促进了生态科学的普及,对本土以至全球生态学的贡献举足轻重。
This exhibition shares the stories of these 12 passionate individuals in discovering, collecting, identifying, conserving and popularizing nature, including Father Bogadek and Chinese writer Yip Linfeng. Featured exhibition items include animal specimens, fossils, rare books and watercolour painting reproductions on display for the first time in Hong Kong.
此次展览内容共分为五章,阐述了跨越1816年到1984年,包括克罗地亚裔神父鲍嘉天和华人作家叶灵凤等共12个人物的故事。展览除详细解说他们在香港发掘、收集、辨认、保护及推广生态的点滴,还有动植物标本、化石、书籍珍本及画作等展品,部份内容更是首次在香港展出。
