A site of special scientific interest in Hong Kong is a special place where scientists think is very important to learn about our natural world. This place is usually full of different plants and animals that are different from what we usually see in our everyday lives. Scientists like to study these different plants and animals to learn more about how they live and how they interact with each other.
Hong Kong has many special places like this, but only a few are chosen to be called “sites of special scientific interest.” These chosen places are very carefully studied by scientists so we can learn more about our environment and how to protect it.
When we explore these sites, we need to be very careful not to hurt any plants or animals, because even the little things we do can have a big impact on their lives. So let’s always be respectful of these special places and help protect them for everyone to enjoy!
