Gemstones and fossils attracted youngsters.
A raft of activities marked the 54th World Earth Day at Shanghai Zoo in Changning District on Saturday including the re-use of waste tires, graffiti, a bazaar and a promotional campaign to raise public awareness against the feeding of animals with snacks.
The zoo launched a nature notes solicitation activity on Saturday and some works will be displayed to raise public awareness of nature protection.
It is collecting vlogs about wildlife as well.
The zoo received 500 waste tires from the public, and these will be used for animals to play.
