Preserving the nature
- Tuesday, September 29, 2009 -
Last night I was watching this television program about the nature habitats in the islands around Singapore. I got the inspiration to blog about this to let you fellow people out to start acting and not just words coming out. Do you know that the rubbish you produce everyday is being collected and dumped onto those small islands like Pulau Hantu, Pulau Ubin? In these small tiny islands, there are many natural mangroves and thousands of habitats living there. I particularly love this Black Lily. Its only found at there and with its unique black colour, its captivating!
However the sad thing is that in the future, all these natural places will be turned into a rubbish dump produced by us!!

Some other animals living there. This fellow here is called the Dwarf Crow. It was thought to be extinct in Singapore but was rediscovered later in Pulau Ubin! It feeds on the leaf its resting on called the Indian Heliotrope (Heliotropium indicum).
This Giant mud skipper is not the biggest there!
This interesting crab here has an enlarged pincer and they use it to fight and get girls! The brighter and bigger it is wins!
Rare and no longer as abundant as in the 1960'sSpider conch is a snail. It is affected by human activities like reclamation and pollution. Trampling by visitors and over-collection of their shells affects their population!
Start to recycle , reduce and reuse!
Some tips to reduce:
- Don't use a 3 ply tissue paper to wipe your mouth once and discard. Instead, you can use just one ply to wipe and save the other 2 plys for other use.
- Recycle plastic bottles by containing shampoo or use them as water bottle at least twice and discard into the recycle bins!
- Reduce the use of plastic food containers by using tupper wares. Also use own utensils instead of disposable ones.
Hope you all enjoy this post! :)
