Today, I'll show you all the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a nature reserve in the northwest area of Singapore. It is the first wetlands reserve to be gazetted in Singapore (2002), and its global importance as a stop-over point for migratory birds was recognised by the Wetlands International's inclusion of the reserve into the East Asian Australasian Shorebird Site Network. The reserve, with an area of 130 hectares, was listed as an ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003. ![]() This Estuarine Crocodile is one of the few uncommon animals found in Singapore. The reserve is an important stop for migratory birds, such as cranes, storks and geese. Many endangered animals natie to Singapore can be found here, including the Paradise Tree Snakes, Smooth-Coated Otters, Crocodiles, Lesser-Whistling Ducks, Lesser Adjutant Storks, Glossy Ibis, Palm Civets and more. Interestingly, not only native animals are found here. Many escapees and previously captive animals are also found here, including Painted Storks, Green Iguanas, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Tanimbar Corellas, Savannah Monitors, Blue-and-Gold Macaws, Rainbow Lorikeets and a few more, which led many people to suggest that this area is a such a healthy environment even foreign species can thrive. The park, along with three others, is the only natural area protected from any harm such as deforestation. The government hopes to expand this area to allow better conservation, and in hopes that many of the former extinct species will return to the island once again. More photos (Photos are not mine.
