PEST IN SINGAPORE, TRAFFICKED IN INDONESIA

Some cases that we come across do not have any leads for a follow up investigation, but it leaves us pondering why these animals are treated this way, when our actions were the root cause of the problem to begin with.

For example, this #JavanMynah a species who are treated as invasive pests in Singapore are rare and smuggled in their home range. Click here to see the video of the recent release of trafficked mynahs in Indonesia: https://youtu.be/uqwUIPhft9U

Did you know that these mynahs were introduced in to Singapore because of the caged bird trade in early 90s?

Then again, we try hard to look at the positive side of things – in this case on 2nd January, the concerned caller who called for help! The mynah was released immediately after removing the chop sticks.
