In
the end, we will conserve only what we love
We will love only what we understand
We will understand only what we are taught
Baba Dioum
With this philosophy
in mind, we aim to inform and educate the visitors about the wildlife
in the Park so that one will learn to appreciate and understand the value
of our natural heritage. The themes reflect the various habitats found
within the Park and enable a systematic classification of common flora
and fauna in the Park.
Hands-on activities allow one to find out more about the flora and fauna
of the Park. Four Activity Stations were set up along route 1, hides 1
B, 1 C, 1 D and 1 E. The Activity Stations showcase the various habitats
of the Park with themes of Mangroves, Mudflats, Freshwater Pond and Secondary
Forest. Realistic murals create the scene and the mood of the various
habitats the hides depict. Visitors would be viewing the habitats from
the perspective of its inhabitants.
Commencing in January, work on the hides were completed by the beginning
of March. Visitors who came during the March vacation and thereafter would
be entering the world of the Park's inhabitants and will be finding out
about the favourite food of the Atlas Moth caterpillar; where the Changeable
Lizard lays its eggs; who eats what in a freshwater pond and much more.
So remember to visit the four hides: 1 B, 1 C, 1 D and 1 E, all along
route 1.
