To let students know the importance of conserving

It Is Important To Conserve Because:

• Our resources are limited
• The Earth is very fragile and may break any time
• It is our duty to protect the environment as there is only one earth
• Preserve the environment
• Wasting resources is wasting money
• Conserving helps to save resources for future generation
• Using to much resources may lead to pollution
• Learn to use lesser so the environment can be cleaner
• Do not have to worry about utility bills and become sick or work till sick
• Resources such as oil is non-renewable

  History of Singapore's nature reserves and why we should conserve:
  

  Step into the nature reserves and journey back in time to the days before Sir Stamford Raffles arrived, when much of the island was covered with lowland, tropical forest. Though much of Singapore's original vegetation had been cleared for logging and cultivation, the forest at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve has remained relatively undisturbed. Likewise, patches of primary rainforest can be seen around the MacRitchie area and Nee Soon Swamp at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. These nature reserves bounded 4 reservoirs - namely MacRitchie Reservoir, Lower Peirce Reservoir, Upper Peirce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir. The nature reserves act as water catchment for the reservoirs, in addition, the nature reserves also ensure the quality of water in the reservoirs. Other than being storehouses of water, today, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Central Catchment Nature Reserve are homes to more than 840 flowering plants and over 500 species of animals (including butterflies). With such an astonishing variety of plants, animals and insect life, the nature reserves are indeed treasure houses of Singapore's biodiversity. Covering an area of approximately 3,043 hectares, both the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Central Catchment Nature Reserve are managed by the Central Nature Reserve Branch of the National Parks Board.
