Check out the beautiful Common Birdwing butterflies that we saw on last week’s walk! Contrary to their name, the Common Birdwing isn’t too common in Singapore: it’s categorized as “vulnerable” in our Singapore Red Data booklet and is also the only butterfly species in Singapore protected under the Appendix II of CITES – an international agreement to limit trade of precious wildlife. Aren’t we glad that our forests can play host to such treasured wildlife? Let’s all play our part to keep it this way. Come join us on our monthly walks to learn more about the biodiversity of MacRitchie Forest and how the proposed Cross Island Line project is putting our natural heritage at risk. #lovemacritchie #macritchie #mymacritchie #sgbiodiversity #sgnature #nparksbuzz #singaporenature #exploresingapore

On the first weekend this May, we led a Jane’s Walk in our very own nature reserve! Jane’s Walk is an international movement that encourages people to discover the commonly unexplored sides of their city. Singapore is a small urban city dotted with forests and rich biodiversity waiting for us to explore! As you walk through the woods, try to spot all kinds of creatures that are around you. Look to your sides, and you’ll find those that hide within and those that blend in with the trunks. Look down, and some are found moving amongst the leaf litter! Head to the forest this weekend and see what treasures you can find! Check out our Facebook album for more photos, and read our latest blog post from the link in bio! :)

A walk in the forest will never disappoint. Take a closer look and you'll find many small critters that will amaze you with their forms and colours. From microscopic fields of slime moulds that looks like corals reefs on land, to tribal looking freshwater Asiatic softshell turtles. Spiders on the leaves, spiders behind doors, spiders on the stick, and many many more! Check out our Facebook album for more photos from the walk! There's also a blog post highlighting three related critters found during this month's walk.

We were back out again, with a group of volunteers for the upcoming Festival of Biodiversity to explore the flora and fauna in our MacRitchie Forest. We uncovered a mysterious world of fungi, from beautiful white carpets of tiny umbrellas to parasitic cordyceps growing out of a fly! Perhaps their emergence was caused by the recent downpours, which created a moist, nutrient-rich environment for them? #lovemacritchie #macritchie #mymacritchie #sgbiodiversity #sgnature #nparksbuzz #singaporenature #exploresingapore

It was the critters that stole the limelight in the NUS Toddycat’s first Love MacRitchie walk of the year, from fairylike Common Flashwing damselflies to war-ready Spiny orb-weavers. A few larger animals did pop by too - keep scrolling to see the Oriental pied-hornbill! Liking what you see? We’ll be having a lot more walks from next month onwards so do look out for the sign-ups! #lovemacritchie #macritchie #mymacritchie #sgbiodiversity #sgnature #nparksbuzz #singaporenature #exploresingapore

Snippets of our booth at Earth Fest 2018! It was an awesome experience interacting with everyone, sharing about our precious biodiversity and learning about fantastic environmental initiatives from other booths. Scroll to the end to find the group photos taken in our hand-made photo frame! #lovemacritchie #macritchie #mymacritchie #sgbiodiversity #sgnature #nparksbuzz #singaporenature #exploresingapore
