A draft masterplan was launched on Saturday to expand the 130—hectare Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. There will also be rooms for nature experts to conduct research. Shutterbugs and nature lovers often hang out at the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in northern Singapore. So do 220 species of birds, including rare ones like the Nordmann’s Greenshank, which breeds in Siberia, and migratory shorebirds which use the reserve as a stopover. The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve celebrated its 15th anniversary on Saturday by launching the grand expansion plan. "We should not let the crisis take the wind out of our celebration.....This draft masterplan will ensure that the core of the nature reserve is conserved for its biodiversity values, while the fringes are enhanced for nature learning and recreation," said Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong. The plan is to link the current reserve to at least three other mangroves, reservoirs and marshes in the nearby Lim Chu Kang and Kranji areas. It will also be broken up into different zones to cater to different visitors, such as a wetland playground for children and restricted areas for researchers only. NParks says the cost of the project will depend on the finalised masterplan, which is expected to be ready by the end of 2009. Construction will start a year later and is expected to be completed by early 2013. Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve is Singapore’s first ASEAN Heritage Park. Since 1998, the nature reserve has welcomed some 100,000 local and overseas visitors each year. — CNA/ir Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (0 votes) Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Singapore Late unionist Ho See Beng "served Singapore with loyalty and distinction"Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 8 minutes ago Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to undergo expansionChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 26 minutes ago Labour movement offers condolences to family of Mr Ho See BengChannel NewsAsia - Saturday, December 6 Bowling: New Hui Fen bags gold medal at championship in MacauChannel NewsAsia - Saturday, December 6 Flights between Bangkok and Singapore resumeChannel NewsAsia - Saturday, December 6 Enlarge Photo Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to undergo expansion Most Popular – Singapore Viewed Diamond thieves pull off 100-million-dollar Paris heist Do not disturb eggs: MP reveals Britain's oddest laws Cruise ship runs aground in Antarctica Amid depression fears, Congress sets up votes on auto bailout Oil price falls below $40 View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular
