wildsingapore.com To review my photos, pls go to the wildsingapore flickr account. Requests for interviews/information for student projects I often get requests to participate in student surveys and projects. These involve quite a fair bit of my time. To ensure speedy support of your project, when submitting your request, please include (a) Name and contact of your supervising teacher/lecturer (email/handphone) (b) Full background of your project objectives and how the info provided will be used. I will give priority to projects that will put their results online for public viewing. (c) Read background on me and my work. Please do read this and the links provided on this page before emailing me about your survey or projects. This will save both of us a lot of time. Thanks. When you email me at hello@wildsingapore.com please put "wildsingapore attention ria tan" in the subject line, I get a lot of spam in at this address. Requests for public talks I do give public talks and enjoy reaching out to as many people as possible. Please include the following in your request (a) your organisation and details about its mission (b) theme of the talk or event (c) target audience: number of people, age, general background (d) other speakers at your event Here are some of the constraints I face. Please try to bear them in mind in your request (a) I am committed to low tide documentation from March-October and can only give talks from November-February. (b) Preparing for a talk takes up a fair bit of my resources and it is more worthwhile for me to make this investment for talks to a large audience of at least 50 persons. (c) I have a full time job and all my leave is committed for low tide documentation. It is easier for me to give talks after office hours and on weekends. When you email me at hello@wildsingapore.com please put "wildsingapore attention ria tan" in the subject line, I get a lot of spam in at this address. What are the key features of wildsingapore.com?

Now updated to a blog and consolidated on the wildsingapore homepage. Latest blog entries about our wild places. These are consolidated in the wildsingapore google reader. Factsheets on our major wild places: what to see and do, how to get there, tips on preparing for an enjoyable visit. Pulau Ubin. This wonderful island is also the feature of focusubin, another website I've started to hopefully raise Pulau Ubin's profile on the internet. Gallery of our shores: I realised we nearly lost Chek Jawa simply because we didn't know it was there. Since then, I've made it my personal mission to visit and document as many of our shores as I can during the brief periods of super low tides. These photos are just a glimpse of the marvellous shores that are still very much alive today. These photos have now been transferred to the wildsingapore flickr account About making a difference for nature in Singapore: Can ONE person make a difference for nature? YES! What can I do? What's in it for me? Where can I volunteer? What can I contribute? The National Day moblog was an opportunity to showcase some of the many wonderful wild people who work so hard for our wild places. There are also features of the many wild projects that I have gotten involved in. In the meanwhile, Kwok Wai has developed the wonderful sister site of Wild Life Singapore which features the terrestrial vertebrates of Singapore: factsheets, photos of more that you imagined could be alive and well in our very own wild forests. |
