At least 500 various wild animal photos were taken around the world, from sky to ground, from sea surface to undersea.

More than 370 out of 400 pages are photos of wild animals, with individual captions at the last 30 pages. The captions describe the names of the animals and their living places. There are also interesting paragraphs describing rare animals and phenomenon. For those who like animals, this would be a great present for them.

This animal album is also suitable for gift purposes.

地球上的生物不斷地演變，經過多次大規模的物種滅絕，現世紀被確認的物種約有200多萬種，但還有無數的物種在地球上未被發現。不過人類數量急劇地增加，70多億人口所佔用的地球面積愈來愈大，加上文明和經濟發展及各種原因，導致地球暖化、物種滅絕的速度愈來愈快。

而後天災連綿， 火山爆發、地震、海嘯等，使我們痛失家園……

眼見野生動物漸漸地消失在我的鏡頭裡，謹以此書獻給熱愛動物的您。

Life on earth evolves continuously. After several mass extinctions of species, approximately more than two million types of plants and animals are now confirmed on the planet. Yet, there is still an incredible diversity of species living here without being found. However, with population explosion - seven billion people cause rapid land use expansion, economic development, civilization and some other factors. These further lead to global warming and accelerate species extinction. Then, there are waves of natural disasters: volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, etc., which destroy our home…

Gradually, wildlife animals are disappearing for my camera, from my eyes. This book is presented to you, who love and care animals.

陳志賢博士

1981年建立了事業根基，二十年間已有卓越成就，及後一直構思做一些特別及有意義的事， 自1994 年找到他的興趣——水底攝影後，計劃就從海洋開始。

曾到各國名勝尋找海洋生物拍攝，其間榮幸代表香港參加了1998年在挪威和2000年在埃及舉行的兩年一度國際性的世界「潛攝大賽」。在埃及比賽中，更以一幅「紅海珊瑚」片入選世界十大作品；從而激發起他對出生地——香港，作無間斷的水底拍攝，把拍攝到的相片作出查考和研究，還在查究中發現很多新品種的海洋生物生活在香港水底，令人振奮！就此， 他出版了一本名為「香港海洋生態」的書作為紀念。

這十多年來，他用上更多精神和時間到世界各地由水底攝影回到陸地上拍攝野生動物， 展開人生另一頁！

After two decades of establishing his career foundation in 1981, Dr. Leslie Chan Chi-yin has gotten an outstanding achievement. He then considered doing something special and meaningful. He found his interest in underwater photography in 1994. Since then, the plan has started from the ocean.

Dr. Chan has been looking for and taking pictures of marine life at various tourist attractions in different countries all over the world. Meanwhile he represented Hong Kong in an international biennial underwater photography contest in 1998 and 2000 at Norway and Egypt respectively. In the later, his photo "The Corals of Red Sea" was selected to be the world’s top ten. He was then inspired to dive and shoot continuously in his birthplace: Hong Kong. His photos have been used in investigation and research, in which some new species of marine life were found living in Hong Kong underwater. It was very encouraging! He therefore published "Marine Life of Hong Kong" as a souvenir.

In the past ten years and more, he has started a new page in his life: he leaves the ocean for land. He has spent even more energy and time on shooting wildlife on land than marine life.
