Act for Nature 2021 (Method B: Indoors)

Sharing is caring!

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic situation, we encourage you to accomplish your Act for Nature through online means (Indoors)!

Part 1: Find information

1a. Choose one animal from the BFF logo (see above): 

  • Long-tailed Macaque
  • Smooth-coated Otter
  • Common Palm Civet
  • Hawksbill Turtle
  • Wild Boar

OR

1b. Have a native animal in mind but is not inside the BFF logo? Click here and let us know which animal you would like to work on!

  1. Do research on at least 3 aspects of its ecology (remember the characteristics you learned during the second seminar?)

For example:

  • Diet
  • Habitat
  • Activity pattern
  • Sociality
  • Where in Singapore it can be found
  1. Do research on how you can interact safely with this animal, if you encounter it in the wild. Identify at least 3 Do’s and Don’ts. (To help you start, a list of news stories for each animal has been compiled in Annex A)

Part 2: Put it together

  1. Present the information you obtained from (2) and (3), in a creative form. Here are some ideas (more examples in Annex B): 
    • Brochure/pamphlet
    • Poster
    • Video/animation
    • Comic
    • Poem
    • Story
    • Play script
    • Rap/song
    • Photo essay
    • TikTok video series (minimum of 3 TikTok videos)
    • Game show 

Part 3: Showtime!

  1. Present your finished product to someone else (a friend, family member, or even a fellow BFFer) and ask for their feedback.
  2. Share it on the BFF Challenge blog! Upload a blog post with the following media:
    • Your finished product (embed it into the blog post, attach a photo, or include a URL)
    • Evidence of engagement (5)
      • E.g. A ‘wefie’ with the family members you showed it to, screenshot of your Zoom call with the friends you shared your product with. Or if you shared it on your social media page, a screenshot of the post with any ‘likes’ and comments.
  3. Write a reflection in your blog post, covering the following:
    • Who is your target audience?
    • Why did you choose this particular creative medium? 
    • Who did you show your finished product to, and what was his/her response?
    • What was the most interesting aspect of this activity?
    • What is one personal takeaway from this experience? 
  4. Upload your blog post under the ‘Act for Nature’ category.

Have fun!
