My friend shared the video below on Facebook the other day, and tagged me (Yes, I get tagged almost everyday on Facebook). So I had to watch it… to be able to give comments and prove that I watched it. LOL!
It certainly isn’t the type of panda I am used to seeing… but people seem to be drawn to anything that is related to pandas. Hence, the whooping 22+ million views on Youtube.
前幾天，有個朋友在Facebook分享了以下這個視頻，並tag了我（對，每天都有人在Facebook上tag我）。所以我必須看，然後才可以做出評論，證明我真的看過了。天，命苦啊～
這類型的大熊貓還是我第一次見到，比較暴力。。。但是好像只要是有和大熊貓扯上關係的，大家都會喜歡。
這隻在Youtube的視頻已經得到超過2千2百萬的瀏覽。
Nonetheless, most people like myself still prefer to watch the type of cute panda in the video below!
Isn’t the baby panda just so adorable?! (This video has over 153 million views and it’s only 17 seconds long.)
但是我相信，大部分的人還是和我一樣比較喜歡也比較熟悉以下這類可愛的大熊貓視頻吧。
大熊貓寶寶實在是太可愛了！這隻只有17秒的視頻可是獲得了1億5千多萬的瀏覽量哦！
Now, those videos might not be the best way to introduce WWF but since I now have your attention (hopefully!), I want to share my recent visit to the WWF Hong Kong Visitor Centre with you… Plus, you’ll get the chance to win something after reading this article too! 🙂
I am very fond of the giant panda (and all animals) because I was taught at a very young age (when I was still in school in Shanghai) that China’s national animal is the giant panda, and also very sadly, that the giant panda is an endangered species.
嗯。。。可能用這2隻視頻來介紹這次我想說的主題：世界自然基金會WWF，並不是最恰當的。但是，我想在大家心情愉悅的情況下來開始這次的博文：造訪香港世界自然基金會WWF。
在閱讀這篇分享你，還有機會得獎哦！
我一直很喜歡大熊貓這個動物（其實基本是動物我都很喜歡，哈哈），小時候還在上海讀書的時候，就學到中國的國寶是大熊貓，讓人擔憂的是大熊貓是瀕臨絕種的野生動物之一。
So when I got to the age where I could apply for volunteering jobs, the first one I applied for was the WWF. Yes, I’m sure you can guess the simple reason behind this – I saw the panda logo and I wanted to help.
In the end, I never got the chance to work as a volunteer for WWF, but I kept track of the great work they do – not just helping pandas, but wild animals in general. That’s why I am thrilled to have this chance to help them in a different way this time, which also benefits YOU, my lovely readers! So read carefully…
On a winter’s day in Hong Kong, I started my journey to the WWF Visitor Centre in Central following the instructions on the map on my iPhone.
所以，當我到達可以做義工的年齡，我毫不猶豫的向世界自然基金會WWF遞交了申請。你們應該可以很容易猜到這背後的原因，其實有些傻氣：因為基金會的標誌是大熊貓。
雖然，我並沒有如願以償的成為世界自然基金會WWF的義工。但我卻一直留意著它們的動態，希望有一天可以用不同的方式出一份力。這個機會現在終於來了，而更精彩的是，它也同時可以讓我饋贈我忠實可愛的讀者。
想知道如何得到禮物，就繼續看下去吧！
冬天的一日，在我手機地圖的幫助下，我踏上了去世界自然基金會WWF香港中環訪客中心的路。
You could spot the Hong Kong WWF Visitor Centre on the way to taking the Peak Tram from Central. It’s very easy to get to, but also very easy to miss!
You should walk towards the Peak Tram stop on Garden Road but when you reach it, keep walking deeper to the bus station behind the tram station. Its full address is 1 Tramway Path, Central, Hong Kong.
其實，世界自然基金會WWF香港中環訪客中心並不難找，它就處於花園道山頂纜車站的後面。但是因為它並不處於開闊的路邊，所以你稍不留意，就會錯過了。
祕訣是向著纜車站走，到達後，以纜車站在你的右邊為基準，繼續往前、向著山的方向走。接著，你會看到一片空地，然後就是大熊貓標誌了。
地址：香港中環纜車徑一號
There are many cool products in the Visitor Centre, and most of them are made from recycled materials and resources.
Here are a few fun examples (refer to photos above):
Yoyos – made from eggshell.
Pens – made from used teabags, unwanted coffee beans, thrown away apple cores etc.
Candles – made from natural soy wax.
Handbags – made from unwanted newspapers and magazines (Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of those but I found a similar handwoven recycled bag online for you; see next photo. The bags are not made by WWF but a eco fashion designer WWF supports.).
在訪客中心里的商品，大多數都是用回收循環的材料或有機材質製作的。
比如這些（聯繫上面的一些相片）：
溜溜球－用蛋殻做的。
原子筆－由茶葉渣，咖啡豆，蘋果渣等製作而成。
香薰蠟燭－原材料為黃豆臘。
手袋－製作材料為回收的報紙和雜誌。（真抱歉，我沒有這款手袋的相片，不過我在網上找到了類似的款式，請看下圖。它們不是WWF自己製作的商品，而是由一位它們支持的環保設計師設計製作，並在WWF作慈善籌款出售。）
And WWF will even plant a tree for you in Lombok island, Indonesia; if you buy a Baby Tree – a tiny plant that you can grow and strap to your mobile phone. More amazingly is that you can check how your tree (the tree WWF planted for you) is doing anytime using Google Earth (Your tree’s location will be provided by WWF with a Google Earth link.)!
Needless to say, every purchase you make there helps to fund the WWF so you are helping the protection and conservation of many wild animals all over the world – including the giant panda, of course!
So why not start the new year with some love for the animals that need our help?!
還有一個很有趣的商品，就是Baby Tree（樹寶寶）－ 如果你買一個這個可以掛在你手機上並會成長的迷你型植物。那世界自然基金會WWF就會幫你在印尼龍目島林加尼森林種一棵樹苗，而且你還可以用通過Google Earth真實的觀察這棵樹的成長過程（WWF會提供給你一條Google Earth的連結，方便你查詢你捐助的樹木成長狀況）！
相信不用多說，大家都明白所有在訪客中心購買商品的消費都會捐助給基金會，並用來幫助自然野生動物。
在這新的一年，讓我們分享更多的愛給需要得到更多幫助的野生動物吧！
