ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop introduces the ecology, biology and
identification of dragonflies and damselflies. Our local Odonata
experts will also share about the dragonflies species and its
conservation in Singapore. This workshop is likely to be more
useful for those who have already started guiding. The workshop is not
intended to replace self-study and practical experience in the field.
SPEAKERS
Robin Ngiam
Robin Ngiam is a Senior
Project Officer in the National Biodiversity Centre, National Park
Board. He has just completed a two years Dragonfly Project in which he

park managers and landscape planners on creating and maintaining pond
habitats for dragonflies; and also conducting dragonfly training for
staff. In addition he participates in outreach programmes by giving
public talks to promote dragonfly conservation.
Throughout his
five years in NParks, he has gained in-depth dragonfly knowledge through
field surveys and interactions with like-minded individuals whom are
either colleagues or NParks volunteers. Dragonflies are fascinating and
Robin considers himself to be in a continual learning process.
