Life’s lessons

Being treasure troves of biodiversity, our parks and nature reserves act as living classrooms to create a greater appreciation for nature.

More than 80 people participated in the new bird-watching workshops at the Southern Ridges in December 2008. It was an eye-opening experience that left many fascinated by the amazing diversity of birds and wildlife in the area.

Nature talks were also held regularly. The “Singapore Biodiversity Talk Series” was organised by NParks’ Conservation Division to give the public an insight into Singapore’s natural heritage. Singapore Botanic Gardens continued to run “The Gardens’ Talk Series” which touches on fascinating plants like Rhododendrons, Begonias and Orchids.

Coral reefs, seagrasses and moths were some of the topics covered in the Singapore Biodiversity Talk Series.
