its not exactly my website. last time during my hardcore gaming days (before photography, when i still had my CRT tan) a bunch of us keep it running by posting news and stuff like that. i've stopped posting for a long long time already. i think the only guy posting is our former quake 3 champ, buzz.
Please note that there have been reports of 'photographers' helping themselves to the pupae of the Common Birdwing at Alexandra Hospital Butterfly Trail. I hope that none of the shooters here are involved. AH is considered a private property, so please be mindful that you can be charged if you are caught taking anything out of the premises.
Caretaker of AH reported that she met a group of 5 photographers who claimed that they were an "independent group" not associated with BC, BIG, NPS or NSS.
Of all the Singapore species, the Common Birdwing is listed under the CITES list. Singapore is a signatory to the CITES in Nov 1986 and the AVA is the enforcement agency. Please read about the regulation here.
Please note that you can be prosecuted under the laws of CITES if you are in possession of this particular species without a permit.
Alexandra Hospital has implemented "observation" stations at the AH Butt trail . Anyone here who chance on such unbecoming behavior of capturing or removal of butterflies or pupae at the Butterfly Trail should inform AH at 6379 3789.
Further , Any collection of plants, animals , insects in the Nature Reserves in Singapore is strictly control by National Parks Board Act (Cap. 198A) and the Parks and Trees Act 2005 (Act 4 of 2005) and the Parks and Trees Regulation 2005. .
