Registration is required for the activities, and interested parties can visit the OPCFHK Facebook page for more information: seats are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The Programme has come to its 6 th year and we are very grateful for Hongkong Land s support and contribution to the Programme this year that makes spreading of messages for horseshoe crab conservation more extensive and in-depth, said Ms Suzanne Gendron, Foundation Director of OPCFHK. This, again, proves the significance of corporate support to our work not only can they support us financially, but they can also utilise their expertise and influence on members of society to spread the word. I am sure that with our concerted effort, more people will take up more responsibility for our environment. Descendants of the Earth: Horseshoe Crab marks the finale of 2015/16 Juvenile Horseshoe Crab Rearing Programme, OPCFHK s major CSR initiative supported by Hongkong Land. Thirty secondary schools participated in the Programme, which offers students hands-on experience of horseshoe crab rearing. Juvenile horseshoe crabs bred at the Aquatic Science Laboratory of CityU were sent to the schools with aquariums and equipment set-up for a period of six to eight months. In the summer of 2016, the horseshoe crabs will be released to their wild habitats, creating a positive impact on the local ecosystem and contributing to the biodiversity of Hong Kong waters.
