Updating BSAP for Hong Kong
Updating the Hong Kong Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP)
Public Consultation Period: 12 May 2025 – 11 July 2025
In view of the latest developments in global and regional conservation initiatives, as well as considering the current local situation and conditions and opportunities in the national context, the Government is updating Hong Kong’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP).
The updated BSAP will strengthen Hong Kong’s position in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. It will also leverage resources and involvement from various sectors in our community, and contribute to the conservation efforts locally, in the Greater Bay Area and the China National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030) (NBSAP 2023-2030).
To guide the next phase of the BSAP, we have identified four strategic focus areas: “Nature Conservation”, “Deepening Mainstreaming”, “Capacity Building” and “Collaborative Partnering”. For more about the proposed updates to Hong Kong’s BSAP, please refer to the public consultation document.
