Tatler Hong Kong Magazine - April 2023

In this issue

In honour of Earth Day on April 22, Tatler's April edition is all about sustainability. Our cover story is an interview with Bosco Chan, the recently appointed director of WWF-HK who talks about a career spent working to protect Earth's biodiversity and shares a vision for Hong Kong in which economic growth and conservation efforts comfortably co-exist. We also speak to other individuals in the city and beyond who are making a difference to the planet through their work, whether by leading the global conversation on sustainable fashion, as is the case with NGO Redress's founder Christina Dean, Vestiaire's Dounia Wone and Edwin Keh of the Hong Kong Research institute of Textiles and Apparel; or hoteliers who are celebrating indigenous culture and sustaining local communities.
