The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens (HKZBG) will hold a "Meet-the-Zookeepers" activity for two consecutive days on October 1 and 2. The event offers members of the public a chance to learn more about the animals while enjoying the birdsong and scent of flowers in the gardens.

     During the event, the gardens' zookeepers will share with visitors their experience of daily primate and bird care and animal conservation. Visitors will also have an opportunity to learn more about the daily habits of the gardens' animals as well as interesting stories about them, including Bornean orang-utans, buff-cheeked gibbons, emperor tamarins, golden-headed lion tamarins, black and white ruffed lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs, American flamingos and red-crowned cranes.

     Admission is free. Interested parties can assemble at 10am or 2pm at the information counter of the HKZBG's Education and Exhibition Centre. For enquiries please call 2530 0154 during office hours.
