In celebration of World Migratory Bird Day, this talk is presented by the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
Mangroves have long been associated with being wet, strange smelling and biting creatures. It is time that we find out the facts about this special habitat and uncover the truth. In this talk, we shall explore some interesting strategies employed by the various groups of organisms to deal with the harsh conditions that thrive in this ecosystem and the true value offered by Mangroves to human kind.
This talk is presented by Mr Law Hock Ling, a passionate marine biologist and nature lover. Many students have learnt to appreciate nature through his authentic experience.
