About Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a 130-hectare protected wetland in northwestern Singapore at Lim Chu Kang along the Straits of Johor. Gazetted as a nature reserve in 2002, it was Singapore's first ASEAN Heritage Park designated in 2003. The reserve conserves mangroves, mudflats, ponds and secondary forest and is internationally important as a stopover for migratory shorebirds on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, supporting diverse wildlife including monitor lizards and estuarine crocodiles.
