Singapore Birds Project
The Singapore Birds Project (SBP) is a community and a data-driven collective that aims to boost interest in bird watching and conservation both locally and regionally. The Project administers the Singapore Birds Database, an open-source repository of rare bird sightings with primary documentation mostly available for the public to peruse. In this webinar, we invite Keita Sin and Movin Nyanasengeran (members of SBP), who will be introducing some of the activities and goals of the project and how one can participate. They will also discuss the novelty and relevance of the Singapore Birds Database to better understanding the bird population of Singapore and how it has changed over time.

Movin Nyanasengeran is a PhD candidate in the Avian Evolution Lab in NUS where he studies how biogeography influences regional bird diversity.
