COME TO TANJUNG TUAN MELAKA TO VIEW ANNUAL RAPTOR WATCH

It's back again for the 12th year! Raptor Watch 2011 (Acara Pemerhatian Burung Helang 2011) is the biggest and the most important event for The Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) and eco tourism in Malaysia. Its main objective is to conserve birds and their habitats and to educate the public on the importance of a most spectacular migratory phenomenon that hits the shores of Peninsular Malaysia - the stopover of thousands of eagles, hawks and buzzards land here on their journey home to Siberia, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, India and Indochina as winter draws to an end. This past year’s event saw an amazing count of over73,000 raptors, as recorded by our dedicated volunteers!

Raptor Watch 2011 will be held on March 12th and 13th at the grounds of PNB Ilham Resort, Tanjung Tuan (10th mile Port Dickson) and it promises to be an event that has something for everyone to experience! You will be greeted with a myriad of interesting and activities to choose from including bird-watching, forest walks, marine walks and beach walks, the not-to-be-missed Raptor Watch Amazing Race that will take you on an interesting eco-adventure as you race against time to win exciting prizes, fun games, lucky draws, riveting nature talks, interesting exhibition Booths with lots of fun thrown in!

Admission is free so take note of the dates and start planning early!
