IMPACT OF THE INVESTMENTS AND BENEFITS GAINED BY THE NATURE

ENTHUSIASTS

1) Thriving conditions are available in Singapore. With more green spaces and
protected nature bodies, species or native flora and fauna increased. More
surprisingly, creatures that once left Singapore in the past started returning to
Singapore now to make their homes. This highly benefits these interests groups
as they are more involved in studying creatures and wildlife in Singapore,
something they find enjoyable to pursue.

3) More importantly, the groups will benefit as more efforts are put into species
conservation and protection, the public will learn to appreciate nature as
something to jewel, rather than to be taken for granted. This would direct the
publics attention to the fragile nature of our environment, and how greatly we
depend in nature for basic survival. Killing of animals would upset the balance of
nature, which might cause great harm to future generations to come. Commonly
instead of perceiving wild animals being dangerous or harmful, the public would
respect all life forms with equal respect and dignity, which would shape
Singapore to be a home to not only its human counterparts, but also its natural
native species.

that unique wildlife could attract and perhaps to discourage

INVESTING ON SINGAPOREAN YOUTHS WHO ASPIRE TO BECOME NEXT

GENERATION OF NATURE EXPERTS
Many youths in Singapore have been neglected the very channce of pursuing
wildlife conservational efforts when they are in their teen years. This is mainly
due to two main reasons,
1) Hectic, Busy and Overschduled Lifestyle due to obsession with paperchase
and technological advances
2) Misconceptions of pursuing their interests in nature might be a bottleneck to
their financial futures.
ADRESSING THE LACK OF NATURE EXPERTS, NATURE
CONSERVATIONISTS IN SINGAPORE
I perosnally believe that nature experts are human ambassadors to an ecology
and its inhabitants. They help to maintain a healthy relation ship between the
human and nature biospheres,making sure the is a adequete balance between
both spheres.

2) General Acceptance
After a prolonged time, acceptance
starts seeping in the the public. Now
incentives or goverment can help fund
studies realting to native species in
SIngapore readily available to younger
children and youths, as they hold key
to the future. Moreover, the island
should be filled with elements which
relate to native species.
3) Changing Mindsets
The use of media advertising to advertise the need for
nature conservatives in explicit manner
Staying Relevant : The national symbol of singapore is
the lion, which a non native species. In order to hammer
the importance of native wilife perhaps SIngapore could
step back by changing its national animal to a unique

1) The Government has to publically and explicitly educate the general public on
the need of good and professional nature expert or youths with deep rooted
passion towards wildlife.

2) The Government has to filter out youths with outstanding knowledge and
experience with wild animals. This could be done by integrating local wildlife into
compulsory syllabus of youths, and having graded exams on such subjects.

3) Usually in tertiary education only Science and Arts Streams exists, however
an introduction of Local Wildlife Stream in JCs and Polytechnics could help
more people to be educated of unique and native ecology,

FEASIBILTY

The strategies can achieve multiple outcomes. Firstly, it can finally

relieve the pressure that Singaporean youths face due to
assignments and paperchase. Secondly, youths who really love to
work with wildlife and their behavior would get a chance in exploit
life forms in Singapore. More importantly, the older and matured
generations will be enlightened to the chains and bounds of the
economy. More importantly, it would help the citizens to treasure
each of creatures in Singapore, is native and Singaporean is a
benefic sense too.
