Leader

Dr. Billy HAU
Principal Lecturer, School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong

Dr. Hau is a terrestrial ecologist and a conservationist. He has been teaching ecology and biodiversity at HKU for more than 20 years. His research focus is ecological restoration, especially for terrestrial habitats in degraded tropical East Asia.  He aims to bring back native forest and the associated forest biodiversity into the degraded landscape in Hong Kong and South China. He founded the Native Tree Nursery of the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) which promotes the use of native plant species in forest restoration work. He has set up a 20ha long term forest monitoring plot in Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, Hong Kong under the Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) programme of the Centre of Tropical Forest Science of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. It is a global network of forest research sites that is strategically positioned for monitoring, understanding, and predicting forest responses to global climate change. He has been promoting urban biodiversity through applied research. He is a local expert in ecological restoration and is often engaged by the Hong Kong Government and private sector in contract research projects on urban forestry, urban biodiversity and ecological restoration of man-made slopes and natural terrain landslides.
