We were invited to conduct a workshop on 13 September for a group of SOTA students who are going to embark on an Overseas Service Learning project to Sumatra in November. Over there, will be working with a partner organisation, the OIC (Orangutan Information Centre). The OIC aims to conserve the orangutan by preserving the rainforest in which the orangutan live in and by educating the locals on peaceful co-existence.
We started off with a presentation on the importance of a green corridor as well as the roles it play as part of urban nature.
Here is us showing them the butterfly trail and how it spans all the way from Fort Canning to Tanglin, thus creating a green corridor.
Since SOTA is located so near to the butterfly trail, we decided to bring them on a short walk so that they can experience the green corridor for themselves. During the walk, we also showed them the different butterfly plants.
We ended the session with the SOTA students filling out our feedback forms.
