Morten Strange meets one of our visitors outside the Botanic Garden Shop (a young Reticulated Python Python reticulatus)
About Morten Strange
In 1986, Morten left his job as a petroleum engineer, and instead of repatriating he stayed back in Singapore to work with nature conservation.

About Ng Bee Choo
Ever a kampong girl at heart, Bee Choo used to hang out at her aunt's kampong house during the school holidays when she was young (many moons ago) and cried when she had to return to her parents' HDB flat. From collecting birds stamps as a teenager till finally joining the Malayan Nature Society in 1987, it was somewhat inevitable that she started Nature's Niche in 1995 - at a time when Singapore lacked a specialise shop on nature books and souvenirs. She was the Nature Society (Singapore) bird group secretary for 6 years until 1996 when she left to concentrate on Nature's Niche in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
