本地资深自然生态顾问兼向导苏峇拉扎(Subaraj Rajathurai)于周二(10月22日)在家中因心脏病发作逝世,享年56岁。

苏峇拉扎的妻子珊拉(Shamla Jeyarajah Subaraj)昨日下午4时许在脸书上发文向亲友公开这沉痛消息。

而苏峇拉扎的其中一名儿子,萨克(Saker Subaraj)对《今日报》指出,苏峇拉扎是在家中时,因心脏病发作逝世。

其亲友于周二晚上到苏峇拉扎位于淡滨尼的住家,排队向他致敬及表示哀悼,并在公共走廊上的一本书中留下慰问与关心。

众多网民也在珊拉的帖文下留言和致哀,对于我国失去一名环保英雄而感到惋惜。同时,也有很多环保分子,包括来自邻国,马来西亚的环保分子都发文哀悼这名环保英雄的离去。

社会与家庭发展部部长李智陞也帖文致哀,对苏峇拉扎的离去感到难过,并称赞对方是“我们当地保护领域的真正巨人和先锋”。

“在谷歌成为便捷资料搜寻来源之前,苏峇拉扎是一名达人,他可以通过鸣叫声辨别鸟类,甚至知道到哪里可以找到它们。”

“那是他的魔力,是他对大自然的密切理解以及美好联系,而随着他的离去,我们将会极其怀念他的一切。”

致力于保护我国自然生态

苏峇拉扎致力于我国自然环境保护工作已超过35年,其成就包括草拟新加坡自然保护总体规划以及双溪布洛保护区的提案,经过六年的努力,成功将位于新加坡西北部的一大片红树林打造成自然公园。

他也以科研团队成员的身份,于1992年参与拯救贝雅士蓄水池下段(Lower Peirce Reservoir),占地123.8公顷的森林。

自学成才的苏峇拉扎曾表示,自他18岁踏入武吉知马保护区之后,就深爱着热带雨林,对爱护及保护自然环境中的一切都满怀激情。他以幕后和平的方式推动着环保工作,更曾对保护雨林和动物的自然生态一事非常坚持。

他曾对法新社指出,“如果要以动物圈养的方式来取代自然遗产,那么我想他们已经把优先弄错了”。

苏峇拉扎也参与许多调查工作,包括1993年乌敏岛的自然保护区综合调查、2014年至2018年的武吉知马自然保护区综合生物多样化调查。

他还是新加坡自然学会脊椎动物研究小组的创始成员,以及乌敏岛之友的重要成员,更成为了新加坡“心想狮城”官网中,有关城市探索者系列中的一员。
