17 volunteers joined the service to preserve Fung Yuen, one of the best places to appreciate butterflies in Southeast Asia. During the service, volunteers assisted with cleaning the conservation area and maintaining the butterfly habitat, which is home to over 200 species of butterflies.

Through their efforts, the volunteers contributed to the preservation of this beautiful natural area and the protection of endangered butterfly species. They had a unique opportunity to learn about the work of the Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve and the importance of preserving butterfly habitats. Additionally, they gained insights into the challenges faced by conservationists in maintaining the natural environment and learned about the critical role that butterflies play in the ecosystem.
