2024年4月是庆祝世界地球日的第54年，而整个月亦正好是时候让我们暂停一刻，反思大自然在我们生活中的重要性，真正欣赏大自然世界的惊人之美，并认识到保护我们地球宝贵资源的迫切需要，让我们携手承诺，共同建设一个更美好的未来而。

地球月期间，大自然保护协会（The Nature Conservancy, 简称TNC）将于2024年4月8日至28日假香港国际机场一号客运大楼L7离境大堂举办TNC摄影比赛作品展 「NATURE’S CANVAS摄触自然: 『捕捉大自然交响乐』」，展出TNC 2023全球摄影比赛的获奖作品。这一系列极为卓越的摄影作品，既讚美着大自然世界的和谐与壮丽，同时传递了保护环境的讯息。

就像艺术家运用画布绘画一样，大自然以地球为画布，绘出壮丽的景色、包括错综复杂的生态体系，以及繁衍生息的植物和动物。TNC希望透过来自世界各地优秀的摄影师的镜头，让观众沉浸在大自然的交响乐中，其中和谐的景象确实令人叹为观止。这些相片有助我们认识自然世界的力量和危机，当中包括对各种生物的特写、四季如画的美景，以及令人惊叹的海陆探索影像。

这次展览除了让观众亲身体验及接触大自然的美好与奥妙，亦期望能提高公众意识，唤起对环境保护和自然保育的关注。

此次展览更特设「香港作品回顾」专区，精选展示部分香港摄影爱好者过去参赛的作品，旨在显示香港城市的自然美景，并提醒公众珍惜及保护香港的自然环境。另一方面，展览还特别提供了一项独特的体验，参观者可以语音录製个人化的「声音明信片」，并以比赛中优胜的摄影作品作为明信片图像，并与亲朋好友分享他们对环保的关注和保护自然的诉求。只需在明信片上填妥收件人地址，然后放入展览会上指定的信箱中，TNC将会协助寄出。参观者可以用这个简单的方式来传递他们对大自然的热爱，并激励他人采取行动，共同保护我们珍贵的地球。

TNC诚邀大家于地球月期间，带同家人及朋友一同参观这次展览，藉着摄影作品感受生命的美丽，重拾对大自然与环境的热诚，
并一同为环境保育出一分力!
