4 Feb (Sat): Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Celebrates World Wetlands Day 2012

The World Wetlands Day theme for 2012 is Wetlands and Tourism. Wetland tourism has benefits for people and wildlife in areas such as stronger economies, healthy people, quality of life and thriving ecosystems.

It is worth noting that tourism is only one of the services that wetlands deliver. Ensuring well-managed tourism practices in and around wetlands and educating visitors on the value of wetlands contributes to the health of the world's wetlands and the long-term benefits that wetlands provide to people, wildlife, economics, and biodiversity.

Join us at SBWR for a day of discovery about the rich fauna and flora of Singapore’s only protect wetland reserve.
