A milestone in wetland conservation

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve celebrated its 15th Anniversary on 6 December 2008 with new proposals to transform the Reserve into a centre for wetland conservation and education.

Under the Draft Sungei Buloh Master Plan unveiled by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, the Reserve will be zoned into four activity areas, with the core of the wetlands retained for conservation and research while the fringes will be enhanced for different levels of recreational use.

Pockets of nature around Sungei Buloh, like the Lim Chu Kang mangroves, Kranji Reservoir Park and Kranji Marshes, will also be linked to form a natural corridor for more strategic mangrove and wildlife conservation.

Sungei Buloh was gazetted as a nature reserve on 1 January 2002.
