SG Issues: Ecology and Wildlife

Apart from River Safari, I hope to volunteer with the SPCA soon. It will be relocated to its new premises which is really a stone's throw away from my home. Yeah!


We have shared our habitats with them for as long as we can remember. Beyond the typical animal rights issues that often serve as a launching pad for informed debates, there is much more to this vital sphere of life that we cannot ignore. To some extent, our care for them restores and affirms our own humanity.


Ecology includes plants as well. Please refer to an earlier posting on the Botanic Gardens.
FYI, green spaces was the chosen theme for 2013's Paper 2.  Geog, Bio students and some PW groups (when they were in Year 5) were seen smiling broadly after the paper.
