Our Mission
About Us
We are a group of volunteers from different sectors who are keen to contribute to our natural environment. In view of geoconservation has long been neglected in the current Hong Kong nature conservation policy while there is a general lack of knowledge on geoconservation and earth science, Association for Geoconservation, Hong Kong (AGHK) was set up in 2006 aiming at promoting the importance of geoconservation. All our members are volunteers who care and love our rocks. We aspire to share the joy of nature with every Hong Kong citizen and make Hong Kong a better city.
AGHK was recognized by the Hong Kong Government as a charitable institution of a public character in 2009. An allowance is granted, for tax purposes under the Inland Revenue Ordinance, for donations of money to AGHK. All income derived will be allocated to activities in relation to geoconservation.
