To celebrate the national launch of Wildlife Asia, a wine night will be held on the catwalk at the National Zoo and Aquarium, Lady Denman Drive, from 6pm on 22 March 2012. Join us for an evening amongst the big cats and bears at the zoo while enjoying canapes and wine from the local award winning boutique winery, Capital Wines.  For those brave enough feed the big cats (for an extra fee and strictly limited numbers). Find out from Orangutan Odyssey how you can have your own special wildlife adventure while contributing to conservation.  There will be a lucky door prize, a raffle to be drawn on the night, silent auction, stalls with merchandise from each partner organisation and live classical music to celebrate this terrific new initiative. Proceeds from the evening will support conservation projects at each of the four partner organisations.

Tickets are $45 each and the numbers are limited.

Tickets available from:  act@orangutan.org.au; the National Zoo and Aquarium reception; or Belco Pets, Oatley Court, Belconnen.
