The
Australian and New Zealand Association of Singapore's
full profile on Subaraj (PDF file) His life and passion
for nature with lots of details and photos about him and
his work. The Association says.."Subaraj Rajathurai
has been working in Singapore as a Freelance Natural History
Consultant and Guide for the last 10 years. If there is
a green, unspoilt part of Singapore (yes there are some),
he knows where it is and what lives there, be it animal
or plant life. He has been conducting natural history
walks, hikes and bird watching tours with ANZA approximately
on a monthly basis and has a dedicated band of followers
who enjoy the outdoors. If you would like to refresh the
spirit a little or even if you would just like to know
if that snake that you saw in the Botanic Garden was poisonous,
his tours are a must."
People
to Watch Among Us: Bird Man on the Northeast Community
Development Council Website: "Given the chance, Subaraj
Rajathurai, could go on and on about the conservation
of natural habitats in Singapore, especially his pet topic
of birds. He is especially in his elements walking through
mangrove swamps, mud flats, or the rainforest in Singapore
and the region. "It's important to educate people about
nature that surrounds us. That's what I do on my tours.
I hope that by having been in nature, they'll grow to
appreciate it, and would therefore want it to remain that
way."
