Wetland Challenge

Through this Gallery, visitors are guided to a tour along a "river" , discovering the threats against wetlands due to human activities. A major vehicle of the gallery is Wetland Television (WTV), a make-believe television centre that allows visitors to explore issues on wetland conservation.

How much do you care about Wetland Conservation? Now you have a chance of being a Wetland Television (WTV) reporter. Being a WTV reporter, through different interactive games you can operate a dam and collect views from various stake-holders. You can sneak into a mining site to report any illegal activities. Peek the factory through CCTV for any potential harms to the environment; manipulate the satellite camera to monitor the energy usage by different people. You can also dive to explore any exploitation of the coral reef !

At our Wetland Challenge Gallery, you will learn how wetland resources are being exploited. Your choice can make a difference:

• Ensure traditional medicines come from sustainable sources
• Buy fake fur and skins instead of the real thing
• Buy plants from suppliers that don't collect from the wild
• Don't keep wild animals as pets
• Buy meat from famed sources, not from the wild
• Buy fish from sustainable sources

Some of our daily habits can cause huge impacts to the natural environment! Watch the stories of sea turtle, coral reef, forest and freshwater resources, you will understand what we can do to help the environment!
