摘要
香港虽是只有1108km2的弹丸之地,却有着非常丰富的地质多样性,以及不同的地质、地貌、地表形态和作用,其中更有世界级的地质景观.虽然一直以来香港投放大量资源保护生物多样性,但对地质多样性的保护却相对缺乏.为了完善自然保育工作,香港政府在2009年成立香港国家地质公园.在2011年9月,香港国家地质公园成功申报成为香港世界地质公园.香港建立地质公园的目的除了地质保护之外,还希望通过地质公园促进旅游和教育的发展.然而,这3个目标似乎存在矛盾,要平衡矛盾,首先需找出公园的定位,然后根据实际情况分区设计、规划和管理.
Hong Kong has a limited area of 1108 km2 but remarkably rich geodiversity and diversified geology,landforms,and assemblages of associated features and processes.Some of the geological features can even be considered as world-class,which deserves more attention.Over the years,Hong Kong has allocated a lot of resources in biodiversity conservation,but the geodiversity conservation has been a missing piece in the initiatives of biocentric conversation for decades.The National Geopark in Hong Kong was eventually established in 2009,and listed as a Global Geopark by UNESCO in September 2011.This Geopark not only aims at the protection of natural environment,but also provides the public with opportunities of recreation and education.While these objectives seem to be conflicting,the conflicts can be solved by balancing the orientation first,and then,according to the real situation,implementing proper design,planning,and management.
