General+Information+and+History

This page is for us to discuss what we should put under general information and history of Sungei Buloh. Please visit this page frequently and give us your ideas. Thank you!

My idea:

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve opened in 6 December 1993. It is one of the four nature reserves and the other three are Bukit Timah, Central Catchment and Labrador Nature Reserves. They fall under the natural heritage in Singapore. A nature reserve is an area protected by law. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is the largest surviving primary rain forest while the Central Catchment Nature Reserve is a mature secondary rain forest and the only protected freshwater swamp. Labrador Nature Reserve is a coastal forest with rocky shores and Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is made up of tropical mangroves.

A primary rain forest is a forest that has never been cleared for human use. A secondary rain forest is a forest that has been cleared for human use and has slowly restored into a true forest. A coastal forest is a forest found on cliffs and/or near beaches/shores. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is Singapore's largest mainland Mangrove Forest. Some uses of the mangrove forest are: -Provision of food and water -Protection against water disasters -Water Quality -Scientific Discoveries Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is one of the natural habitats in Singapore and it consists of animals and plants rarely seen in Singapore. The animals and plants are specially preserved and protected by law in the reserve. It also consists of tropical mangroves and the animals run free in the reserve. This is for the conservation of native/indegineious flora and fauna. They are important in the aspects of conservation, education, research and recreation. ~Teng-ya (Do not edit what I wrote!)
