Hi everyone,
Everyone is talking about Changi Cove and everyone is showing fantastic photos with Native birds from this place and a lot are saying "go there quickly as there are going to destroy it for a new Terminal or equivalent !"
I don t understand why this community is not putting their ressources together (aka photos) and try to do something about it ! You have thousands of photos showing what lives there and I am sure you could find a few rare species within these pictures...
Avian Watch Asia and CS should come up with something. With the number of members (+ their friends and families, and the friens and families of their friends and families, etc) that would create a non-negligeable weight for opening discussions !
Go to your elected person or to the ministry of environment or even the ministry of tourism as Singapore is selling itself as a Green/environment friendly Nation (or higher if some of you know the right person...) and show what is going to be destructed....
I don t think Singapore needs a 3rd terminal... the 2 actual terminals (plus the newly opened and still empty budget terminal) are sometime a bit full but most of the time you spend less time queueing at Changi than queueing for the taxi to get out of there... (and I know what I am talking about on this part as I am there very often !)
You guys need to wake up and do something about it... I am sure that a lot of people would be ready to help if they knew about it (even the guys from the development company..)
I am not Singaporean and therefore I can t vote here. We are during an election time, if I am not mistaken. This is the time to go to the people for this area and bring their attention on it. The destruction of the natural inhabitat of most of this species means : death for most of them and or move to other places (and according to the size of Singapore that means overseas).
You can do something about it ! Business is business but if the public is against your business, you will not do much business... Environmental issues are growing more and more important for corporations...
Maybe you will not stop the development but you can bring them to find solutions for these species by capture and relocation in one of the reserve of something like this...
Wake up before it is too late....
Hope some people will follow-up on this as it is your Land and the Land of your kids who might prefer to go and take birds pictures with a D800
in 10 years rather than looking at yours (which are great...).. I will be gone soon and just sad knowing that no one has try something. :cry:
PS : If someone is aware of something being already done I think it would be good to advertise it more and request for contributions with photos !!
Cheers
Thomas
