What are your aims for Project Orion II?
To do my part in conservation and through sharing, education and fun, eventually to benefit the animals, local people and the participants in any way possible.
What is your purpose for taking up Project Orion II?
I started the first project last year as a possible interest to involve Rovers in nature/environment education. The project has become so successful that it's now serves as advocate for sea turtle conservation, youth involvement and the Scouts of the World Award.
What services do you have to offer to save the environment?
With my experience in the nature/environment field, I can provide a different perspective and share with everyone else.
What do you think about the environment currently?
The environment definitely needs our help. For humans are the cause of almost all environmental problems, and if we do not know how to save it, we shouldn't break it in the first place.
What do you think should be done to minimize the damage our environment is facing?
Education is the most important. People will and need to understand better and take proper actions, and only then improvements can be made.
Introduction to Project Orion II
is the 4th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.
The 2nd installment of this project will be led by 9 youths from Singapore and they will return to Setiu, Terengganu, where the pioneer team had left their legacy a year ago.
The primary aim of the team would be the conservation of sea turtles, but that would not be their only contribution during the project duration of 26th June to 10th July. The 9 passionate youths will also be involved in mangrove replanting, repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre and English and conservation awareness education for the children.
