Singapore - Annually on 5 June, people around the world join hands to commemorate World environment Day with activities that stimulate worldwide awareness of the need to protect our environment. This year, Singapore Zoo will also be doing its part to promote understanding and change attitudes towards environmental issues.
Visitors get a chance to learn about how the increase of greenhouse gases affects global temperatures and how its effects hit home and affect everyone. Starting from 5 to 7 June, visitors will see more than just the usual animal exhibits at the zoo. They will get to come up close with some species threatened by climate change. What can we do to save these animals from being extinct forever? Let the volunteers at the zoo show you how – from reusing common items like bottles, magazines and plastics bags to creating your own natural recycling system at home. Every effort, regardless how small, goes a long way in saving our environment.
While at the zoo, visitors can also pick up some green tips and learn how to take care of some popular local plants like Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus lobbiana), Rabbit's Foot Fern (Davallia denticulata) and Spiral Flag (Costus speciosus). Last but not least, take part in the Wheel for Conservation game, answer some questions and bring home a prize that will reduce your carbon footprint!
Practicing the 3Rs – reducing, reusing and recycling is fun and easy. Experience it at the Singapore Zoo to believe it!
