HONG KONG GEOGRAPHIC: HONG KONG'S FROGS CALLING
Michael Lau Wai-neng (Senior Manager, China Programme, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden) recalls the successful relocation of the endangered Romer's Tree Frog from Chek Lap Kok to seven different locations. He explains why Hong Kong is suitable for the breeding of this type of frog. Lau tells how his teacher Father Anthony Bogadek, with his collection of rare specimens in the school's basement, aroused his interest in amphibians. He also co-authored the book on Hong Kong's amphibians and reptiles with Lau, a project started by John Romer, after whom the tree frog was named.
