Be a Wildlife Hero

SUNWAY Theme Parks, comprising Sunway Lagoon and Sunway Lost World of Tambun, is on the lookout for junior heroes between seven and 12 years old to form a wildlife council, in its inaugural Wildlife Heroes campaign.
Wildlife Heroes is a programme that includes both entertainment and educational elements.
The mission is to allow children to immerse themselves in nature, and to interact with the animals in enriching ways, while in a controlled and safe environment.
If you have children who are passionate about wildlife and nature, why not encourage them to explore their passion further?
Interested candidates are required to submit a two- to three-minute long video, with a brief introduction of themselves and why they should be selected as a Wildlife Hero, to www.sunwaythemeparks.com/wildlife-heroes by 6pm on Aug 11.
Ten shortlisted finalists will be contacted via email by Aug 15, and be invited to attend the first 'council' meeting that will be held at Sunway Lost World of Tambun in Ipoh, Perak, in late August.
It will be a 3D2N stay, filled with exciting challenges and tasks.
Selected candidates will also walk home with cash prizes of more than RM80,000.
The lucky children will get the experience of a lifetime in Lost World of Tambun, a theme park set amidst lush greens, caves, hot springs, and 400 million year old limestone hills.
Later, they will also get a chance to visit Petaling Jaya, Selangor's own Sunway Lagoon, and interact with over 150 species of animals from around the world in the middle of the concrete jungle.
With that, the junior Wildlife Heroes are able to experience the best of both worlds.
They will also get a chance to share their thoughts and contribute ideas on how they can create awareness on the importance of the wildlife and nature, through quarterly meetings at both Sunway Theme Parks.
Calvin Ho, senior general manager of Sunway Theme Parks, said: "We [kicked] off this inaugural campaign [after] seeing the number of young visitors coming through both [Sunway Lagoon's] Wildlife Park and the Lost World Petting Zoo.
"That inspired us to start a programme that caters towards children who are eager to discover wildlife and get in touch with nature on a more personal level.
"Our hope is to raise heroes who aspire to make a change for the future."
