The Hong Kong Wetland Park will organise a public lecture titled "The Black-faced Spoonbill: A Success Story of Twenty Year's Conservation Effort" on 24 October 2009.

In this lecture, the speaker Mr. Simba Chan will introduce the status of the Black-faced Spoonbill, global census and satellite tracking, conservation work in Asia as well as conservation action plans. The lecture will also introduce the success stories of conservation effort and output related to the bird.
