Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

An attempt taken by a group of birdwatchers, upon discovering this ecologically rich location, later saw the incorporation of this site as a nature park in 1989. It was later developed in to a much larger conservatory of wetland nature with the help of experts in the field such as the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and the World Wide Fund for Nature. It was gazetted the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve much later in 2002, when it was also deemed a site of immense international importance for migratory birds.

A diverse variety of flora and fauna can be observed here at the park from worms to mollusks. Birds such as whimbrels, common redshank Mongolian plover and yellow bittern are common here. There is also a resident family of smooth otters, a favourite among visitors to the park. There are observation areas within the reserve that allow visitors to observe the beautiful flora and fauna around them from a tranquil spot without getting too close to these animals. Occasionally saltwater crocodiles are visible at the reserve.

On the 15th anniversary of the reserve in 2008, plans to develop the reserve were unveiled as designed by a team that represented National Boards and Societies in Singapore. According to these plans the park will be expanded to include recreational activity for the visitors. Four activity areas with specific programmes will be developed to cater to the various types of visitors. These zones will have different difficulty levels to choose from, with the 4th Zone dedicated to research and conservation activity.

There are concessions for group visits and various demonstrations and workshops to keep everyone engaged in exploring this amazing ecological jewel. You are able to conveniently get to the park via public transport, by getting to Kranji MRT Station and taking a 15 minute walk to the park. Alternatively visitors could drive to the beautiful northwest of Singapore.
