N Sivasothi

N Sivasothi (aka ‘Otterman’) has been immersed in mangroves for research, education and conservation at NUS Biological Sciences since the late 80’s. In 2001, he led efforts at the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research to explore the fate of Chek Jawa, an inter-tidal shore, which became a hallmark of government-citizen engagement and the people’s growing awareness of nature and the environment in Singapore. He is the coordinator of the NUS Toddycats!, the national coordinator for the International Coastal Cleanup Singapore, and a blogger.
