[The Leafmonkey Workshop] "Operation No Release", 30 April 2010, 7pm, Civil Service College

[The Leafmonkey Workshop]

Dear Friends,

After the last workshop on Wiping out the trade in Wildlife with Louis of ACRES, we now continue on the flip side of the coin by examining the issue of releasing invasive and exotic animals into our ecosystems. We are most grateful to have Ms Karen Teo from NParks to join us at our upcoming workshop to talk about the subject. Please do join us if you would like to find out more about what we as nature volunteers can do on this issue!

More details of the workshop below.

See you at the workshop!

Cheers,
November

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop focuses on the impact of exotic and invasive animals on our natural ecosystems in Singapore. Topics covered include:
(1) What is animal release? mercy release versus pet abandonment
(2) What are the impacts of animal release?
(3) How can you help?

This workshop is likely to be useful for anyone interested to do more about the release of animals into our natural habitats. It would be especially useful for anyone interested to volunteer for or would like to find out more about NPark's efforts on tackling this issue. The workshop requires active participation and includes role playing activities and is not to be mistaken for a public talk.
