The Silent Killer

Did you know Hong Kong loses hundreds of trees to sudden collapses every year even on clear days. With our urban canopy down by 140,000 trees since 2017, we need scientific solutions to protect our green spaces.

Traditional monitoring isn't enough. By implementing molecular tools like PCR diagnostics and FTIR microscopy, tree managers can catch deadly fungal decay before structural damage happens.

Take Action: We need our District Councillors to prioritize urban forest health. Reach out to your local representatives and urge them to support funding for advanced molecular testing in upcoming government policy reviews.

Let's protect our canopy together.
