caring hands @ labrador nature reserve
caring hands @ labrador nature reserve from BeachBum on Vimeo.
Came across this group of students and their teacher at Labrador Nature Reserve who seemed to be having an outdoor biodiversity survey. Kudos to the teacher as he really seemed to know how to handle the session really well. He caught sight of a tiny fish(?) and gently cupped it in his hands to show his bunch of attentive students. And after he was done explaining about and showing the creature, he just as gently released it into the water.
This is very unlike other park users who fish in restricted locations, plunder the intertidal area for corals or algae covered rocks, intentionally throw their ciggarette butts and litter in all the wrong places and generally treat the nature reserve as a dump.
We need more people like the teacher and students in the clip! :) (and less of the other kind of park 'ab'users)
Found a link which explains what the teacher and students were doing! Look here

The caring and careful teacher looks very much like a Mr. Lim Cheng Puay we know :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like Cheng Puai and his students from RGS. He and and students (also called the Labrador Angels) are helping to survey seagrasses in Labrador, as part of the Seagrass Watch programme (http://teamseagrass.blogspot.com/).
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right, he is a "one-of-kind" teacher (there are a few others) - and his students are also in that category. :)
Cheers, Jeff
Thks, Siti, Jeff,
ReplyDeleteLooks like the mystery of the group, the teacher and what was carefully cupped in the teacher's hands is solved. :)
