[2] The government formally announced on 10 November 2001 that the park would be accorded nature reserve status, a step that protects the area from any unauthorized destruction or alteration.

The second phase of the park was opened, and the entire site of 130 hectares officially gazetted on 1 January 2002 as the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.

[4] Among the many birds that can be spotted feeding on the diverse fauna variety of worms and molluscs, are Eurasian whimbrel, common greenshank, common redshank, Mongolian plover, curlew sandpiper, marsh sandpiper and Pacific golden plover, yellow bittern, and cinnamon bittern.

Since its inception, the reserve provided nature education programs as well as a volunteer guide programme for schools and the general public.

The reserve distributes education materials such as workshops, guidebook and a triannual magazine, Wetlands, to further enrich the students and public.
