Asia's largest reptile and amphibian exhibition will be held in Tseung Kwan O.
'Loveth Thy Neighbour - Endangered Reptile and Amphibian Exhibition' will be held in East Point City from September 24 to October 10.
Co-organised by Sun Hung Kai Properties and The Media Evangelism Limited, a charitable organisation, the exhibition aims to raise the public's awareness of animal rights.
More than 1,000 endangered reptiles and amphibians will be on display. The exhibition highlights are the four 'heavenly kings': a giant frog, a 250kg turtle, a 40cm-long lizard and a huge chameleon.
At last week's launch ceremony, Ng Cho-nam, associate professor of the University of Hong Kong's department of geography, was invited to talk about the environmental problems.
K.K. Kwok, a reptiles specialist, was another guest speaker. He spoke of the importance of protecting wild animals.
Lam Yuk-fai designed the exhibition. He said that he wanted to convey an important message to people visiting the exhibition.
