Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Singapore

By admin On April 29, 2010 Comments Off


Sungei Buloh was designated as a nature park in 1989 and in 2002 Sungei Buloh was officially designated as a nature reserve and renamed as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to better reflect its status. It is a region with a long history, once a big mangrove forest with a rich flora and fauna. But man also discovered this fertile region and used it for fish farming. Not for long, because people soon discovered that the entire mangrove ecosystem was intact. Mudskippers, crab, shellfish, water snakes, spiders, lizards and birds. This 130ha ecological jewel includes a wondrous birdlife, particularly during the migratory season when huge flocks of shorebirds visit the reserve. This 28 minutes documentary is part of the tv-series WONDERS of WILDERNESS and is available on DVD at WWW.FAUNAFILM.NL
