Details	:	Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong are two upland Hakka villages in the northeastern New Territories with a combined history of over 300 years. These once vibrant farming communities embedded in nature have gradually faded away as villagers emigrated away over the last few decades. If timely active management is not implemented, biodiversity and the associated ecosystem services and values in the area will continue to decline. Based on the principle of environmental stewardship, this program aims to conserve, revitalize, and enhance the natural, cultural, and landscape values of Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong. The villages will be revitalized as "Forest Villages” - a common term that describes settlements with forests as the dominant and provisioning habitat, through restoration of farmlands, enhancement of habitats, and adaptive repurposing of village assets. collaborative and participatory approach will be employed to engage stakeholders—villagers, members of non- profits, scientists, architects, artists and interested citizens—in an array of conservation activities through which they will acquire knowledge, skills, and commit to taking up the role as guardians of the forest villages. This is a first-of-its-kind project in Hong Kong that focuses on upland forest conserving both natural and cultural landscapes as an integrated and holistic living heritage.
