Wong How Man (born 1949) is an explorer and photojournalist from Hong Kong, and founder and president of the China Exploration & Research Society (CERS), a preeminent nonprofit organization specializing in exploration, research, conservation and education in remote China and periphery countries like Myanmar and Philippines. Between 1974, when he began exploring China as a journalist, and 1986, when he founded CERS, Wong led six major expeditions for the National Geographic magazine. His writing for the National Geographic was nominated for the Overseas Press Club Award of America. In his 1985 National Geographic expedition, Wong led a team that found a new source of the Yangtze River and documented this expedition in his 1989 book, Exploring the Yangtze: China's Longest River^[1]. During this expedition he came across the hanging coffins^[2] and developed a long life obsession with this particular historical custom, which later became the topic of an award-winning documentary by Discovery Channel ^[3]. Twenty years later, Wong discovered a yet longer source^[4]. Subsequently, Wong led CERS expeditions that pinpointed the source of the Mekong in 2007 and discovered a new source for the Yellow River in 2008. In 2011, his team defined the source of the Salween River, followed by that for the Irrawaddy in 2017, and the Brahmaputra in 2018.

Wong has authored over two dozen books. Among these, From Manchuria to Tibet won the prestigious Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Gold Award in 1999.^[5] His book Islamic Frontiers of China^[6] was published in the UK in 1990, with a new and expanded edition in 2011. Wong has received numerous awards, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Wisconsin in River Falls, Lifetime Achievement Award from Monk Hsing Yun. In 2002, Time Magazine named Wong as one of 25 Asians Heroes ^[7] He is often invited as keynote speaker on important international lecture circuits for both corporations and select groups of audience.

Wong's organization, CERS, has conducted scores of successful conservation projects, many of which became full-length documentary films. His work and that of CERS has been featured on CNN over a dozen times, including a half-hour profile by anchor Richard Quest^[8]. His nonprofit organization is mainly supported by private foundations and individuals.
