WRS manages four award-winning wildlife
attractions – Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari,
River Safari, and Singapore Zoo. Ms. Isabel
Chang, Chief Marketing Officer, Wildlife
Reserves Singapore says about competition,
“Their images caught so many beautiful
moments and it’s been fascinating to see the
different stories captured by each participant
through their lens – influenced by the natural
landscapes from their own country.”
The contest was launched for the first
time this year by WRS, in partnership with
local photography groups. The entries
were submitted as per allotted categories,
such as cute, humorous, animals close-
up, meaningful and park icons. “I wanted
to capture the physical attributes of the
animals in detail, and most importantly, in
an angle that intrigues the viewer to look
beyond the surface of an image” says
Tapan. In this spread we curate for you
some of the highlights from the event. ß

animal icon,
the hornbill, is
representative of the
conservation efforts
in place to protect
all threatened bird
species sheltered
in the Park.
Hornbills are mainly
threatened by
hunting – for their
casques, the horns
above the beaks- and habitat loss
from deforestation
