Death is an inevitable part of life. Stumbling upon dead animals can be an unpleasant, smelly affair, but we have much to learn from carcasses. In this talk, you will learn how dead animals can tell us a lot about the presence of wildlife in urban Singapore, as well as the impact of human activities on the natural environment.
About the speaker: Ivan Kwan has been an avid naturalist ever since he could walk. He has never ceased to be fascinated with biodiversity and conservation. Today, he works in freshwater ecology, and in his free time, volunteers with the
