Meet Beijing Owl ↓What is Beijing Owl?
From owls to a fuller understanding of nature
Beijing Owl is a conservation biology project founded by high school students in Beijing. We bring wildlife and plant observation together with social research and cultural exploration. Through field activities, members learn ecological survey methods and consider contemporary environmental questions from scientific, sociological, and anthropological perspectives. We learn through direct experience and build a closer relationship with the natural world. Our aim is to connect theory with practice and help young people become observers, researchers, and protectors of nature.
