The Sustainable Lantau Office (SLO) of the Civil Engineering and Development Department announced today (March 12) that three projects were approved in the 2023-2024 round of the Lantau Conservation Fund (LCF), involving a total amount of about $8.5 million.
      
     The $1 billion LCF provides financial support to eligible organisations and post-secondary education institutions to conduct research and education and engagement projects, or collaborate with local communities and landowners to carry out conservation and related projects on Lantau; as well as supporting minor local improvement works for conservation. It aims at raising community awareness about the conservation of Lantau and engaging the community to put conservation into practice, thereby fostering a sustainable quality living environment. A total of 47 projects of over $130 million have been approved since the inception of the LCF in 2020. 
      
     The LCF is now accepting a new round of applications. For information about the LCF, the results of the applications, the event calendar and details of the approved projects, and the invitation for the new round of applications, please visit the LCF's website (www.lcf.gov.hk/) and the SLO's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lantauhk/), or call 2153 2739.
