Ng Cho-nam (Chinese: 吳祖南, August 15, 1960 – December 13, 2019), SBS, JP, was a Hong Kong environmental studies scholar and conservationist who taught as an associate professor within the Department of Geography at the University of Hong Kong.[1] He served as a top advisor on numerous Hong Kong government committees in areas of conservation, sustainable development, environmental protection, urban planning, and was an active member in various environmental NGOs.[2] He was the director of the Conservancy Association from 2000 to 2019.
Ng was among the first generation of Hong Kong environmentalists.[3] He is most notable for his contribution to the campaign that led to the rescue of Long Valley wetlands in 1999,[4] the JC-WISE Project (Jockey Club Water Initiative on Sustainability and Engagement)[5][6] and the ongoing sustainable Lai Chi Wo program.[7] He was awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star (2004) and the Silver Bauhinia Star (2014) by the Hong Kong SAR Government "in recognition of his meritorious public and community service, particularly for his contribution to environmental protection and promotion of nature conservation in Hong Kong."[8][9]
