ABOUT THE TEAMS
Team AH MENG
Supports the conservation of her fellow primate friend,
the Raffles’ Banded Langur. Found only in Singapore
and Johor, the Raffles’ Banded Langur once thrived
across the island.
However due to urbanisation, there are now less than 60
of this shy and elusive species left in the wild in
Singapore, making them critically endangered.
The Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund
(WRSCF) supports the Raffles’ Banded Langur Working
Group to get a better understanding of the urban ecology
of this species and help protect them within their fragile
habitat.
Help raise awareness for the Raffles’ Banded Langur
by taking part in the instagram contest!

ABOUT THE TEAMS
Team Canola
Supports the conservation of her fellow aquatic friends,
the sharks and stingrays. Globally, a quarter of shark
and stingray species are threatened with extinction, with
overfishing being the main threat.
The Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund
(WRSCF) supports The Dorsal Effect to assess shark and
stingray catch in Singapore, from local and surrounding
regional waters, something never previously
investigated. This study will provide insight not just to
inform policies in the country, but also contribute to
global data for these animals.
Help raise awareness for the conservation of sharks and
stingays by taking part in the instagram contest!
#TeamCanola #SafariZooRun
10ABOUT THE TEAMS
Team Chawang
Supports the conservation of his fellow friend in Night
Safari, the Sunda pangolin. Found in Singapore, the
critically endangered Sunda pangolin are elusive
insect-eating animals that are threatened by illegal
wildlife trade. It has been identified that pangolins are
the world’s most trafficked mammal.
The Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund
(WRSCF) supports a researcher from the National
University of Singapore to further the understanding of
Sunda pangolin in Singapore. This study will enhance
conservation management plans by sharing knowledge
about the potential interaction of pangolins with
various urbanscapes such as roads.
Help raise awareness for the conservation of pangolins
by taking part in the instrgam contest!
#TeamChawang #SafariZooRun
11ABOUT THE TEAMS
Team Sunny
Supports the conservation of his fellow feathered friends,
the songbirds. Songbird keeping is a popular pastime in
many regions in Southeast Asia. It has been
recognized that the capture of birds for the songbird
trade is the single largest threat for many species in
Southeast Asia.
The Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund
(WRSCF) supports a research team from the National
University of Singapore to assess the health of five
songbird species in Singapore. This will help provide a
comprehensive outlook for better conservation planning
of these birds in Singapore and beyond.
Help raise awareness for the conservation of songbirds by
taking part in the instagram contest!

27Physical Activity
Readiness Questionnaire
(PAR-Q)
The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is
designed to help you assess your level of readiness for
physical activity. It’s a simple test that only requires a few
minutes of your time to complete. If you are planning to
become more physically active than you are now, start by
answering the seven questions in the box below. If your age
range falls between 15 to 69 years, the PAR-Q will be an
indication if you should check with your doctor before you
start. If you are over 69 years of age and are not used to
being very active, please check with your doctor before
proceeding.
ARE YOU SPORTS SAFE?
Common sense is your best guide when answering these
questions. Please read them carefully and answer each one
honestly.
1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition
and that you should only do physical activity
recommended by a doctor?
2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical
activity?
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were
not doing physical activity?
28Physical Activity
Readiness Questionnaire
(PAR-Q)
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you
ever lose consciousness?
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back,
knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your
physical activity?
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example,
water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do
physical activity?
If you answered YES to one or more questions,talk to your
doctor before you start becoming more physically active or
before a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q
and the questions you answered “Yes” to.
If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you
can be reasonably sure that you can start becoming more
physically active- begin slowly and build up gradually. This
is the safest and easiest way to go.
