[Change of Venue] Dragons and Damsels Workshop, 3 Sept 2010, 7pm, Botany Centre

[The Leafmonkey Workshop]

Hi all,

 

We have just been informed that Civil Service College will have a power shutdown on 3 September and we will be unable to use the college for our workshop.

 

Fortunately, thanks to the kind assistance of our speaker, Robin, we've managed to secure a new venue!

 

The workshop will now be held at:

Venue: Botany Centre, Singapore Botanic Gardens, 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569 [Map]

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I look forward to seeing you at the workshop!

 

Cheers,
November

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 conducts surveys of park ponds and nature reserves; provide inputs to 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.

Tang Hung Bun
Tang Hung Bun is an avid dragonfly-watcher and photographer. In 2009, he retired early from teaching and now dedicates his time to studying the dragonflies of Singapore. Together with Cheong Loong Fah and Robin Ngiam, he is responsible for the addition of 16 species to the national dragonfly checklist in the past six years.

Tang is also one of the co-authors of the newly released "A Photographic Guide to the Dragonflies of Singapore" published by the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research in August 2010.
