A voice for the Birds of TRK

I had the opportunity and privilege to add one more voice to the on-going pressure to Save Taman Rimba Kiara when I was invited to BFM 89.9 radio station to talk about The Birds of Taman Rimba Kiara, at the following link:

It cannot be stressed enough how strategically located the taman is for migratory birds, and local ones too.  The recent 3 rare sightings in the taman, namely the Chestnut-breasted Jungle Flycatcher, the Black-backed Kingfisher and the Tweedale morph Oriental Honey Buzzard convinced me that TRK indeed lies in the flight path of migratory birds.  In addition, we also have more than 20 species of migratory birds making repeat visits and stays in the taman each year, especially the not so Common Kingfisher and the Yellow-rumped Flycatchers.
Above all, we have our very own local and resident birds that have found either this taman its regular transit site or its home.
And it cannot be overlooked too that any urban park could be the initial and most relevant location to educate a child on the importance of urban green lungs, and the pursuit of birdwatching or birding could be a key to do so, and so out to parks instead of malls!
