Exploration and Conservation in Remote China
Explorer Wong How Man will share his epic discoveries and subsequent conservation projects based on almost forty years of exploring in some of the most remote regions of China. Wong’s cultural work spans archaeological research on the Hanging Coffins of the extinct Bo people, restoration of Tibetan monasteries, and conservation of the last traditional village houses of the Li people of Hainan Island. Wong’s nature projects include conservation of the Tibetan Antelope, Black-necked Crane, Golden Monkey, Wild Yak, Asiatic Beavers and other species. His organization recently appeared on the front page of the New York Wall Street Journal for its work with Tibetan Mastiffs and has presented Aung San Suu Kyi with a Burmese cat, a rare breed it is reintroducing to Burma. Through breathtaking illustrations, Wong will broaden our understanding of China’s cultural and natural heritage and show us what equitable conservation can look like.

Drinks Reception 6.30 pm; Lecture 7.30 pm
We are delighted to welcome again Wong How Man, China’s greatest explorer and one of our most popular lecturers, to speak on this occasion on his exciting expeditions to Burma: “Exploring Burma to Myanmar - a country at the threshold of change?”
Over ten years ago, Wong How Man took a short and stealthy exploration trip into Burma/Myanmar through the backdoor border of China’s southwest Yunnan Province. He visited a distant Lisu village with its make-shift church. Mr Wong turned back shortly after seeing teenage kids of the independent Kachin army waving their AK-47s at his party.
