Okinawa is the southernmost island group in Japan, which is famous for its high level of wildlife endemism. During this overseas field trip, students will be exposed to different groups of wildlife and habitats. They will have the chance to see a great variety of animals such as birds, frogs and snakes. They will also visit the famous Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium to learn about marine biodiversity. The experience will be beneficial to their future participation in environmental research, education, nature conservation and ecotourism in Hong Kong and elsewhere.
