Bird photographers should take note of the Sireh Park Bird Photo Race 2024, as it is the first time this birdwatching event is being organised in Iskandar Johor, Malaysia.
Sireh Park, located in the Iskandar region of Johor, Malaysia, is a well-known community park that focuses on environmental conservation, public engagement with nature, and eco-tourism. It is also part of the larger push for green spaces in urban development areas in Malaysia, particularly in the Iskandar Malaysia region, a large economic development zone in southern Johor.
Sireh Park Bird Photo Race 2024
As bird photography is gaining momentum in Malaysia, several bird photography contests and races have been conducted nationwide. The Borneo Bird Festival 2024 was the most recent event with a Sabah bird photo race category, with a record turnout of participants.
Social media has been one of the prominent platforms that bird photographers choose to showcase their photos, and this has helped the camera industry gain additional sales due to many photographers upgrading their old gear and new ones buying better gear.
Sireh Park Bird Photo Race Information
- Location: Sireh Park is located in Iskandar Puteri, part of the larger Iskandar Malaysia development area. This area is situated in Johor, near the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia. Iskandar Malaysia is a region known for its growing eco-tourism industry and focus on sustainability.
- Purpose: Sireh Park aims to provide a serene green space for both residents and visitors. It’s designed to offer outdoor activities, education on environmental conservation, and recreational opportunities while emphasizing biodiversity and local flora and fauna.
- Birdwatching and Biodiversity: While Sireh Park itself is not as globally renowned as birding hotspots in Malaysia, it is part of a wider eco-tourism and conservation initiative that could potentially support a variety of bird species. The park’s natural settings—such as green spaces, wetlands, and gardens—attract common birds, making it a good spot for nature walks, bird watching, and photography, especially for local enthusiasts.
- Birding Events: Many regional parks host similar events to encourage environmental awareness and engagement with nature. Birding photography can be part of a larger initiative promoting eco-tourism or local conservation efforts in Johor.
