The
Forest Cleanup at Pulau Ubin aims to raise awareness about our impact
on the environment and how we can make a difference through our daily
habits as well as monitor ongoing trends in usage of the island though regular monitoring of small litter items collected.
Besides
removing forest debris along the 2km route of the activity, participants
will also be collecting data as part of our monitoring programme.
Datasheets and guidance on data collection will be provided.
The
programme also incorporates a learning journey to introduce the various
concepts of conservation (ex. invasive species, fragmentation, dependence
of human on nature, etc.) as well as ways to be better stewards of
nature (ex. nature photography ethics, nature reserve and parks
etiquette, effects of wildlife feeding, etc.) Participants will learn
readily actionable things they can do to make a difference to ensure
that their impact will continue long after the event is over.
