Part 9/11:
The Singapore Botanic Gardens actively manage the wetlands by removing invasive species like hydrilla, an aquatic plant that can choke oxygen flow in water bodies. These efforts involve hours of manual labor, including upcycling and eco-friendly practices, to ensure the habitat remains healthy and sustainable.
Rehabilitation programs for orphaned water birds exemplify the Gardens’ commitment to nurturing wildlife. The young ducks and water hens, once released back into their natural environment, demonstrate resilience and adaptability. These creatures, now more independent, contribute to the ongoing story of life cycling through this protected haven.
