Hong Kong is the largest consumer and transshipper of swiftlet nests. Although I am an advisor to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (UCN), I cannot influence local policy concerning the importation of swiftlet nests. I can only do research, and if the research leads to understanding of the active ingredient, then substitute products will be easy to come up with.
香港是燕窩最大的消費與轉口地，我雖是世界野生動植物保護資源協會的顧問，但無法參與此地有關燕窩政策的制訂；我只能做研究，研究明白了，找代用品也就容易了。
