for Nature Society (Singapore) members only
Happily, we are into the ninth year of this census of Singapore’s wild bird population. Unlike the other censuses which are all held on a single day, this census has been extended to two days to allow birdwatchers to cover their backyards, neighbourhood parks or home patches. The ever-changing landscape and deterioration and clearance of bird habitats are all cause for concern. Such censuses have assisted in formulating conservation proposals by providing hard data to substantiate them. Helpers are needed for site counts which will be led by an experienced birdwatcher. Please let us know which day you are available, all the better if you can make it for both days. If you can help, please email coordinator Lim Kim Seng at denislim@starhub.net.sg before 1 July 2008.
