Flaring up at Pulau Bukom

Read about 'flaring up at Pulau Bukom' at Wildshores of Singapore website HERE to find out how are the refineries (located near Cyrene reefs, Pulau Hantu and Pulau Semakau) are adversely affecting the coral reefs and life in the waters.

There're also many more NAMED reef sites located in the southern islands such as Terumbu Raya, Terumbu Bemban Besar and reefs at Pulau Jong! There's also a new ethylene cracker complex which is built on reclaimed land AND BURIED THE LIVING REFFS OF Terumbu Bayan.

I've included a map of the Southern islands below so that you can get a clearer picture..


We can tell visitors that the areas in the Southern areas are worth protecting. By allowing them to understand their existence and through sharing knowledge, they will realised that these reefs must be conserved; the southern islands must be preserved and should not be replaced for economic development.. I'm sure there will come a time when Singaporeans need to decide again whether such areas should be kept, so why not let's all do our part now and think for the future?

For people already in the conservation 'army', we can experience for ourselves first the fascination of our own shores and transfer the knowledge and love using our passion for conservation to the rest of the people who have no idea yet. One day I'm sure they will see the light for supporting conservation! Start saving ourselves now for a better tomorrow! :D
