dc.description	Since the founding of World Wide Fund For Nature Hong Kong (WWF Hong Kong) by the late Sir Kenneth Ping-fan Fung in 1981, environmental education has been recognised as an important component towards the long-term conservation of Hong Kong's natural and environmental heritage. Nearly twenty years on since the establishment of the Mai Po Marshes Wildlife Education Centre and the Nature Reserve in 1983, WWF Hong Kong is still very active and committed to promoting environmental education. Our environmental education focus and direction have diversified over the years from student-centred programmes to teacher-centred programmes. In addition to the Mai Po Marshes Wildlife Education Centre, our central activities have increased with the building of the Peter Scott Field Studies Centre, at Mai Po Marshes, in 1990, the conversion of the New Territories District Commissioner's residence in Tai Po to a conservation studies centre (Island House Conservation Studies Centre) in 1987 and subsequent renovation of the centre to incorporate a Teacher Learning Centre in 2002 and the building of the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Life Centre, to be opened in late Spring 2003. To support environmental education implementation in schools and to raise public awareness, WWF Hong Kong has also produced and disseminated over 100 education resource materials to schools, various environmental resource centres and libraries. Reflecting one of WWF Hong Kong's education strategies, increasingly we are deploying more information technology in our environmental education programmes, such as setting up the WWF Hong Kong Education Webpage (http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/education/index.html) and establishing a Teachers Networking Channel. WWF Hong Kong has an advisory committee, the WWF Hong Kong Education Committee, that is made up of representatives of school principals, relevant government departments and local education institutions to advise and supervise on the development of WWF Hong Kong' education policy, strategies and programmes
