9 Oct (Sat): Talk on "Pulau Ubin Shore is ALIVE!"

Years after the dramatic discovery of Chek Jawa, we now understand better just how fragile such ecosystem can be. But if this lovingly protected area can still reel from the impact of human activity, what chance would Ubin's more traumatised beaches have of sustaining life?

Choon Beng is one of the staff based in Ubin. Seeing how nature often uses small windows of opportunities to recover itself, he decided to see if there were any isolated patches of shorelife along the busy stretches of the island's coast.Come join us on an interesting talk by How Choon Beng, Senior Conservation Officer at Pulau Ubin, who will share his observation of the Pulau Ubin shore's life with you.

The talk is free but pre-registration is required. Please email choi_yook_sau@nparks.gov.sg by 7 Oct (Thu) 2010.
