Friday, August 18, 2006

The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department today (August 18) urged people not to visit the Hong Kong Wetland Park tomorrow (August 19) and Sunday (August 20) because group tickets for the two days had already sold out.

"As the 2,500 daily group tickets for the next two days have been sold out, we expect there will be more visitors to the park than usual. To avoid overcrowding, which will lessen the enjoyment, people are advised to visit the park another day," a department spokesman said.

The spokesman also advised that there was no need for people to rush to the park to see crocodile Pui Pui, which is still being kept indoors for observation and has not been released into the external pool yet.

It is the objective of the Wetland Park to strike a balance between conservation, tourism and education. Visitors should observe the following rules to conserve the environment in the park:

* To avoid stressing birds and other wildlife, don't dress in bright colours;

* Keep quiet, don't shout or run in the park;

* Keep the air clean and don't smoke;

* No littering. Put litter into litter bins or take it with you;

* Don't picnic in the park or leave any food in outdoor areas;

* Don't pick or damage plants;

* Don't disturb or catch animals;

* Don't climb over fences. Please take care of children;

* Help to protect the exhibits and don't damage them; and

* Don't touch wild birds, their feathers or droppings. Wash hands after the visit.
