Future Generations promotes community-led development in partnership with government as a proven, alternative path to improving people’s lives and places. The core of Future Generations work is a system that communities and governments can use to shape their futures. This system can create large nature preserves, rapid social change, extend health services, or help countries rebound from conflict. Future Generations China has been committed to environmental protection in China since our founder helped establish a protected area around Mt. Everest in 1989. Much of our work involving communities that border national nature preserves is endorsed by Chinese president, Hu Jintao. We envision a world where humans and nature co-exist with one another in harmony, and with balance between development and protection. Future Generations China focuses on fragile ecosystems that are of great ecological significance.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Hong Kong) Trustees Incorporated

Environment and Animals

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was first formed by a group of volunteers in 1903 and became active in 1921. Although we are the first charity in Hong Kong to deal with all aspects of animal welfare, we obtain around only 1% of our funding from the government. The rest of our funding comes from the generosity of the general public, for which we are extremely grateful. It is a constant challenge to raise the funds necessary to continue our work. We believe that animals are living creatures which like humans, are able to feel pain, hunger and thirst. We should not inflict any suffering upon our fellow creatures just because they can't speak.

(1) To promote kindness, and to prevent or suppress cruelty to animals (2) To help and protect abandoned companion animals regardless of their age and breed and provide a life-long shelter for those which cannot be re-homed. (3) To help needy pet owners to alleviate their difficulties. (4) To facilitate Hong Kong in becoming a “No Kill City” through public education and the execution of the “Free De-sex Operations for stray/un-owned and Semi-Stray cats and dogs. (5) To provide education and outreach in the community to promote the awareness on welfare of animals and the sanctity of their life as well as to promote the concept of responsible pet owner/ responsible citizen .

Able Charity Limited

Environment and Animals

ABLE Charity first came together back in 1993 as a Grassroots environmental action group. It was founded as a direct consequence from a lack of protection and a voice, for Lamma’s environment. A campaign was launched to stop the reclamation of a beautiful beach on the island which resulted in a success story that led to the official registration of the group as a charity with the Hong Kong government where it remains so to this very day. The charity has had a colourful history with a considerable amount of success, yet has always chosen to keep a low profile in the grand scheme of things to just get on with it. The Vision The Lamma Forest is a natural resource for all generations present and future, one whose value will increase in the years to come. The land currently has no adequate protection so the vision is to rezone the land into a Conservation Area (CA) thereby safe guarding it for the future. The Lamma Forest is a gift for one and all to enjoy. Our Mission We want to raise awareness about a fundamental integral link between people and ecology. They are one and the same, yet our modern lifestyle inadvertently separated as well as distanced humans from their environments. This has had serious consequences which have become quite obvious today, but less so in the early 1990’s of Hong Kong. Leading ABLE charity to be assume the responsibility of implementing change through direct action and by setting examples that inspire change in the behaviour, lifestyles and habits of people.

Indigenous and traditional cultures recognize that they are but a part of a community of plant, animal, and spirit beings, and live in harmony with the land and the complex ecological systems upon which they depend. Our mission is to build a sense of responsibility and stewardship, thus shifting behavior towards responsible consumption.

Founded in 2015, Cats in Hope Charitable Foundation Limited began by taking care of local stray cats and later expanded its services to perform sterilization. The increasing number of homeless stray cats, exacerbated by government land resumptions displacing their habitats, has led to a rise in abuse and attacks. To address this urgent need, our dedicated volunteers established a shelter, providing a safe haven for these vulnerable animals while they await loving homes. With the growing demand for our rescue services, the financial burden of food and medical care has also increased. Community support is now more critical than ever to help us save more lives and improve stray cat welfare. To date, we have rescued over a thousand stray cats, and currently provide shelter for over a hundred. Beyond the challenges posed by land resumptions, Cats in Hope also addresses the consequences of human actions, such as abandonment, neglect, and the dumping of cats by breeding farms. Recognizing the need for greater public awareness regarding responsible pet ownership and the long-standing neglect of community stray animal issues, we actively promote responsible breeding practices. Through various activities, sharing sessions, and collaborations with diverse organizations, Cats in Hope strives to create a harmonious community where animals and humans can coexist peacefully. 浪貓薈於2015年成立，最初的宗旨是為了照護社區的流浪貓，其後擴展至貓隻絕育服務。然而，隨著時間過去，我們發現越來越多無助的流浪貓，虐貓和貓隻遭犬隻攻擊的事件也日益頻繁。有鑑於此，義工們建立了這個收容所，希望能為這些毛孩提供一個安全的庇護所。 隨著需要救援的流浪貓數量不斷增加，我們的糧食和醫療支出也面臨了沉重的負擔。因此，我們衷心期盼社會大眾能夠支持我們，共同籌集資源，以拯救更多生命。至今，我們已成功救援超過一千隻流浪貓，其中大多數都是因為政府收地而失去家園，目前有近百隻流浪貓安置在我們的收容所中。 除了因收地而需要救援的個案外，浪貓薈也處理許多零星的救助案例，這些案例大多源自於人為因素，例如棄養、照顧不善導致貓隻生病，甚至是繁殖場遺棄的貓隻。我們深切體認到大眾對於責任飼養的認知明顯不足，而社區流浪動物的問題也長期受到忽視。為了改善這種情況，我們積極推廣責任飼養的觀念，希望藉此提升飼主對待寵物的認知與態度。透過舉辦各式各樣的活動和分享會，並與不同的團體合作，浪貓薈致力於創造一個動物與人類能夠和諧共處的友善環境。
