Explore Hong Kong Nature in HKZBG!
Artist: &dear
Artwork Location: Scattered in the Gardens
"The
Gardens
is
possibly
the
first
impression
most
children
in
Hong
Kong
have
of
a
zoo,
and
it
was
no
different
for
us.
We
have
been
fond
of
animals
since
we
were
children,
when
our
parents
and
schools
brought
us
here.
The
park
is
therefore
a
place
filled
with
childhood
memories."
Apart
from
the
animals
and
birds
kept
by
the
Gardens,
traces
of
other
lodgers
can
also
be
found
here.
The
art
group
&dear,
whose
main
creative
direction
is
animal
conservation,
has
painted
at
different
spots
in
the
Gardens
a
series
of
mini
murals
of
some
of
the
guest
fauna,
to
allow
young
visitors
to
better
understand
the
ecology
of
this
‘urban
forest'.
The
group
has
also
designed
an
animal
directory
that
helps
visitors
locate
these
boarders
within
the
Gardens
to
experience
its
biodiversity.
