The Nature Society of Singapore (NSS) has adopted the Kranji Reservoir and the surrounding marshes in November, under the PUB’s waterways adoption programme.
The wetlands are the island’s last remaining chunk of freshwater marshes, and are home to threatened bird species. Measuring 90 hectares, the Kranji marshes have fallen victim to neglect, urbanisation and poachers over the years.
Now, the NSS hopes to get Singaporeans to treasure the area’s rich biodiversity, and is launching its first tour for the public on Jan 31. The three-hour tour will be held every last Saturday of the month, and will involve a 4-kilometre trek.
