about wildsingapore.com

Is wildsingapore an organisation?
No. wildsingapore.com is just a series of web resources that I, Ria, run and fund alone as a volunteer. It is not an organisation, it is not a group. I do not have volunteers.

Does wildsingapore provide guided walks?
I do not provide guiding services via wildsingapore.com. Please see the factsheets on our wild places for guided walks, and the many nature events listed on wildsingapore happenings. Here's a list of some professional guides if you would like to organise a tour tailored to your needs.

What is wildsingapore.com about?
My hope is that wildsingapore.com can be a one-stop location for those who want to learn about our wild places; and do more for them.

I first started wildsingapore.com as a companion website to the Chek Jawa guidebook. To contain all the wonderful photos and information that I just couldn't squeeze into the guidebook. Since then, it has grown to contain lots more of the wild places, wild activities and wild people that I have come across.

What is wildsingapore.com's theme?
One person CAN make a difference!
EXPLORE • EXPRESS • ACT!

I didn't reply to your email?
The hello@wildsingapore.com email address gets a lot of spam. I use an aggressive filter so that I don't spend my entire life going through spam.

To make sure your email gets to me, please put "wildsingapore attention ria tan" in the subject line. Emails will be treated as spam if you use "Hi" or "Hello" or leave the subject line blank.

I usually reply to all legitimate emails within 24 hours. If you don't hear from me by then, either I'm dead or your email got trashed with the spam. Pls send again with a proper title in the subject line.

If your email is about any of common matters I've listed below, please read through the issues I've outlined before you email me. It will save you and me a lot of wasted time. Thanks!

How to feature your blog/nature activity on the wild happenings blog?
Wild events are now hosted on the wildsingapore happenings blog. Here's more details on how to post your event on this blog.

Using info or photos on wildsingapore.com.
I'd be glad to share these with everyone. But not all photos belong to me. So please do let me know if you'd like to feature wildsingapore.com or its contents. Just email me at hello@wildsingapore.com (please put "wildsingapore attention ria tan" in the subject line, I get a lot of spam in at this address).

Most of my photos are now uploaded on wildsingapore flickr for free download.
See the flickr profile for more about why the photos have been uploaded.

Requests for high res versions of my photos
I would be glad to do so for appropriate uses.
