SPEAK up for our wild places Leave comments on wild blogs: Many ordinary people share their explorations and efforts for our wild places (see the latest entries on the right column). Inspired by what they said? Excited by what they shared? Encourage them by leaving a comment on their blogs. Join mailing lists and forums that discuss about nature in Singapore. Here's some wild lists and forums that discuss nature in Singapore. Contribute to surveys and studies on our wild places: Often done by students, do support their interest and raise awareness of our wild places by contributing to their efforts. Give praise: Often Singaporeans will not be moved to write except to complain. If they enjoyed a visit or like a place just as it is, they do not make any noise. The result is that decisions on our wild places are often more affected by complaints than praise. So if you like something, say something! Enjoyed a visit to a wild place? Write to the press! Write to the group managing the site or the trip. Tell your friends and family. Give feedback: The decision makers seek feedback. Give your sincere and well-thought out feedback and it will be valued and acted upon. A good place to start is Reach (formerly the Government Feedback Channel) or email them at reach@reach.gov.sg They can also direct you to the correct people to give your feedback to. Snail mail: SLF Building, #16-01 510 Thomson Road, Singapore 298135 There is a special forum topic on "Air, Sea and Land: My Habitat" set up to discuss the living environment and urban development.
