Introduction
Support Conservation with a Healthy and Paw-sitive Attitude
With sponsorship from corporate partner Prudential Hong Kong, OPCFHK is going to organise the first “Pawservation Fest Carnival” in Ocean Park Hong Kong. Everyone who cares about pets and values ecological conservation can spend a whole day exploring Ocean Park with their furry friends. Promoting conservation work requires a healthy body and a mentality of empathy towards with animals; therefore, the theme of this carnival is "Support Conservation with a Healthy and Paw-sitive Attitude". Dogs are invited as pet representatives to encourage the public to continuously pay attention to ecological conservation work in a healthy and harmonious atmosphere between humans and pets.
To create unforgettable memories, participants will enjoy fun times with their furry friends at multiple interactive booths and photo-spots located at The Waterfront. The designated park snack kiosks will specially prepare healthy and delicious snacks for the dogs. Additionally, animal-care-theme talks are also set to take place to offer insights into pet care. Owners and dogs will be invited to jointly create a conservation-themed picture with their handprints and pawprints to demonstrate their efforts in protecting the ecology and other species!
The funds raised from the event will support OPCFHK’s wildlife conservation projects locally and across Asia. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Let’s help protect the environment with our furry friends.
