Last week, RUM Research Assistants Zheng Zhangxin and Ong Wei Bin led by Prof Dan Friess begin work to map out the mangroves in earnest. Here they are making sure all the gear and methods are in good order before heading out to Pulau Ubin. They will soon need volunteers to help. More details will be posted on this blog soon!

In celebration of traditional life, this month we had an evening walk with lanterns!
Thanks to Phillip Lim for the idea and for having Ubin villagers share stories and help the kids learn about traditional lanterns.
Here's a lovely video of our magical walk with lanterns on Pulau Ubin after sunset. Thanks to Mohammad Juhari.
We ended by sharing moon cakes, and a delicious home-cooked meal at an Ubin restaurant. Thanks to Ah Yong for organsing it!
Thanks to those who took great photos of us and what we saw, especially Mohammad Juhari! Thanks to Cheok Zi Yu and friends for helping out during the walk. As usual, this walk would not have been possible without the Ubin community: Thanks Uncle Lim for his shop space, to Ah Yong for a great dinner, and special thanks to Phillip Lim for taking care of us making sure we got home safely. About 30 people joined the walk.
