Two wild boars caught today 漁農署今日捉了兩隻野豬

25/9/2019

After days of feeding and surveillance, AFCD caught one adult female boar (85kg) and one male small boar (27kg) near Bisney Road. The female boar was given contraceptive medication and they have both been relocated to the country parks in the New Territories after they recovered from their sedation.

AFCD will continue their operations in Pokfulam as part of their "Capture, Contraceptive and Rehome/Release Programme". Since 2017, they have caught and relocated 7 boars in Pokfulam.

漁農署早前開始於區內餵飼野豬，令牠們適應行動的環境。今日署方於碧荔道附近捕捉了一隻雌性成年野豬（重85公斤）及一隻雄性未成年野豬（重27公斤）。獸醫已為雌性野豬注射避孕疫苗。署方會將牠們搬遷到新界偏遠的郊野公園範圍。

漁農署會繼續於薄扶林進行「野豬避孕及搬遷計劃」。自2017年，他們於區內先後捕捉及搬遷了7隻野豬。

Street cleansing in Pokfulam 薄扶林街道清潔工作

23/9/2019

Street cleansing and removal of vegetation has been slow this year. New contracts start in November and we will monitor whether the performance improves. We wrote to government to improve the remuneration of street cleaners. We continue the push for keeping Pokfulam clean, especially paths, trails, staircases and drains.

大家都可能留意到食環署的外判商於區內的清潔工作欠缺效率。新合約將於11月生效，我們會繼續監察他們的表現有否改善。我們已要求政府採取措施改善外判清潔工的待遇，並加勤清潔區內的行人路，小徑，樓梯及路邊渠等。

Wild boars 野豬

1/9/2019

The population of wild boars in Pokfulam is expanding. A large number of young ones have been spotted. To be able capture, neuter and relocate them the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department will start a controlled feed of this family at the slopes behind the Sandy Bay Fire Station mid-September. The feeding pattern will help the capture. In the meantime, make sure to keep your garbage locked up. Place refuse outside for collection only just before the collection times. Contact our office at info@paulzimmerman.hk for more information.

薄扶林區內的野豬數目出現上升趨勢，多隻小野豬頻頻於街道出沒。漁農署會於9月中在沙灣消防局後方的斜坡餵飼野豬，以降低牠們的戒心，隨後再進行捕捉、避孕及搬遷行動。另外，請大家繼續確保於垃圾車到達前一刻才將垃圾放於道路旁邊。如有查詢，歡迎電郵我們。

Drink without waste 免「廢」暢飲

24/1/2019

香港每天於堆填區棄置超過五百萬個可回收膠瓶。2018年起我出任由多個飲料製造商、零售商、環保團體及回收業界組成的工作小組主席，尋找可行的減廢方案，當中包括安裝更多的飲水機、鼓勵市民自備水樽、為一次性飲料包裝設立按金機制、擴大回收網絡、增建回收廠房及禁止使用不能回收再造的物料等。如有興趣，請到www.drinkwithoutwaste.org了解我們的工作。

In 2018 we chaired a working group and agreed on a strategy among beverage industry, waste industry, retailers, NGOs and government on reducing the 5 million bottles which go to waste every day. Now the hard work starts on the installation of beverage dispensers, encourage people to bring their own bottles, a deposit scheme for single-use packaging, growing a network of collection points, building recycling plants, and a ban on non-recyclable materials.

清理斜坡 Slope cleaning

29/1/2018

我們早前與居民實地考察研究加設行山小徑時，發現薄扶林道及域多利道之間近上碧瑤的一個斜坡布滿垃圾，歸根究底是政府二十多年前清拆寮屋區時未有進行清理工作。政府的外判商現已清理斜坡。

Exploring the slopes next to Baguio Villa for a possible trail between Victoria Road and Pok Fu Lam Road together with residents, we found large amount of waste dumped. The waste was left behind when squatter homes were cleared over 20 years ago. Government contractors have now cleared the site.
