Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned: January 2008

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Thursday, January 24, 2008. Not Everything Can be Priced. I read “ Economics don offers unique perspective on Nature Conservation” in the “Battle for Singapore’s Green Spaces Blog. 8221; and it’s really infuriating. This is coming from one of the people being consulted by Singapore’s government ministries and statutory boards. Perhaps that is what Professor Quah would like to see? Buildings everywhere, with the only greenery being roadside trees? In contrast, Bangla...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Saturday, April 5, 2008. The Truth Makes Things Difficult, But Untruths Can Be Fatal. I had really wanted to write this as soon as that the ridiculous description of macaque behaviour appeared in the newspapers, but as I was busy and Dr. Michael Gummert had written a splendid response. The vegetarian movement in all likelihood started from people who were affected by seeing animals in farms and slaughterhouses. But to argue for it from a flawed viewpoint and con...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Discussion on Palm Oil. Recently, in the forum for Primate Conservation at my Alma Mater, someone posted a link to this report. At the Adam Smith Institute. I've read it, and a few furious replies came up. Mostly attacking it as a non-reviewed paper by a market research institute, and the admittedly sweeping statements behind it. So I posted a reply and it follows here:. It has reached $1,238.57. A record price. Today (23rd Feb)...Hope some...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Biodiversity Education in Singapore (and probably the rest of Southeast Asia). This is especially important in biodiversity and conservation. Students are brought up in with the mindset of objectivity and a somewhat mistaken concept of the omission of a "human factor". Our students see science as cold and hard and this extends into the biology students, and the education of our biology students. How do we define nature? Coming back to Singap...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Friday, June 25, 2010. Be fair, many things are anthropogenic, but many things are NOT. Many people have then jumped on to the back of the government, with comments like “Let’s see Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim take responsibility.” He did, through PUB. What more could he have done? Over two days of freakish rainstorms? No So give the man a break and let him do his job. Demanding this and that at this point in time does not help. We are all victims of freakish weather. And I m...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Battle at Kruger National Park. Amazing, amazing video captured by tourists, and it won a National Geographic award. It's almost a whole ecology and evolutionary biology lesson in this video. Now watch it here. For some irritating reason, there's no embedding). Thursday, May 15, 2008. Comments on Summary of Survey Results on Biological Conservation Attitudes. I just read the survey results here. Or the "flagship species" model? Finding 4: Stude...

Hell Hath No Fury Like Nature Scorned. Thursday, February 28, 2008. I refer to the letter on the Straits Times Forum Online posted below:. Feeding wildlife: Educate uninformed adults. I APPLAUD recent measures to punish those who feed wildlife in public parks. I was at the Singapore Zoo last Friday with my young son and came upon a girl, perhaps no more than 10 years old, feeding twigs to the goats at Children's World, the children's section of the zoo. Everybody feeds the animals'. Koh Wee Hoon (Ms).
