SINGAPORE: A nature lover had a rude shock when he went on a trip to Pulau Ubin recently.
Ben Lee, founder of Nature Trekker – a non-profit organisation dedicated to nature appreciation in Singapore – took pictures of a trap that was more than 2 metres (7 feet) high and was set deep in the forest.
According to him, the cage was big enough to house 15 wild boars and could be used for illegal poaching.
He also saw a man walking out of the forest with a sharp sickle.
Mr Lee has reported the incident to the National Parks Board.
NParks said it is illegal to carry out poaching activities in Pulau Ubin, parks and nature reserves.
