Johannesburg Zoo celebrates World
Environment Day.
Johannesburg, May 29, 2006
The United Nations 2006 World environmental Day theme is
“Deserts and Desertification”. In keeping with this theme; the
Johannesburg Zoo, Dept of Water Affairs and Forestry, Food and
Trees for Africa, Birdlife Africa, Joburg Water, The Spider Club
of Southern Africa, Rand water and 20/20 have put together their
resources in celebrating one of the biggest environment
campaigns to date.
The Johannesburg Zoo and its partners will be displaying
edutainment exhibition displays that promise to be entertaining,
informative and educational to learners and the public at large.
The schools will be taught about the importance of our
environment including water, trees and the role in which animals
play in our lives. “What can we do to prevent the destruction of
our environment, even in an urban setting”
The official World Environment Day is on the 5th of June;
however our environmental event will take place on Friday 2 June
as schools find it easier to visit the Zoo on Fridays. The main
event would start from 10:00 until 13h00. Entry fee is R13 per
person, for school groups and normal entry for individuals.
For more information, contact Lawrence on 011-646 2000 extension
262 or fax on 011-486 0244. It is essential to liaise with him
to take part in the proceedings.
