Ocean Park Conservation Foundation Hong Kong (OPCFHK) is committed to advocating, facilitating, and participating in effective conservation of Asian wildlife. With a focus on Chinese white dolphins, giant pandas, and their habitats, the Foundation works through partnerships, fundraising, research, and education. OPCFHK envisions a world where Asian wildlife thrives under the stewardship of individuals, corporations, and governments.

Each year, OPCFHK allocates funding to support conservation and research projects across Asia. Beyond giant pandas and Chinese white dolphins, the Foundation supports projects on other threatened species and their habitats. Many of these species are listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, including horseshoe crabs, Beale’s eyed turtles, Chinese pangolin, and the Chinese crested tern.

In 2024, OPCFHK launched the Hong Kong Biodiversity Conservation Fund to safeguard local species and habitats.

OPCFHK’s community engagement programmes inspire a new generation of conservationists, enhance knowledge and experience, and engage the public in conservation action. Through the University Student Sponsorship Programme, local students gain first-hand experience in conservation projects across Asia, encouraging them to pursue careers in the field.

The Juvenile Horseshoe Crab Rearing Programme teaches secondary students about conservation by rearing artificial-bred horseshoe crabs and releasing them into the wild.

The Foundation also mobilizes communities—divers, hikers, and villagers—to protect the environment by clearing ghost nets underwater and along shorelines, and removing traps from streams.

OPCFHK’s Cetacean Stranding Response Team, in collaboration with Ocean Park and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, investigates cetacean stranding cases in Hong Kong waters. Samples collected from stranded animals provide vital information on age, sex, pathogens, and causes of death, enabling scientists and government agencies to better conserve local cetaceans and their habitats.
