As part of the ‘Passport 2 Nature’ programme, from October 1 to December 31, visitors can get hold of a ‘Passport 2 Nature’ at entrance counters of both parks.
There would be a series of family-friendly interactive questions, and visitors can find out the parks’ unique flora and fauna, and earn stamps on their Passports.
Upon completion of the Passport, they can present it to staff at either park and redeem a limited-edition souvenir created for the campaign.
Dr. Adrian Loo, Group Director, Conservation of the National Parks Board said, “Singapore is located along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. This means we serve as a valuable stop-over in the journey taken by migratory birds that come from as far away as Siberia.”
Dr. Loo added, “We welcome the opportunity to work with our wetland counterparts in other countries that are also part of the flyway, such as Pulau Kukup Johor National Park, to build up our knowledge of the migratory patterns and requirements of these amazing birds. This will enable us to better formulate conservation strategies for our wetlands to ensure the long-term survival of these birds.”
Pulau Kukup Johor National Park, a Ramsar Site, is one of five national parks in Johor.
Besides its mangrove habitat, eco-tourism facilities have been developed on the island.
