In summary, we recorded 8 critically endangered, 4 endangered, 8 vulnerable and 7 data deficient species in 2013. 2 previously thought extinct species (Clipper & Malay Yeoman) were re-­‐sighted.
Purple Spotted Flitter (a previously unreliably identified species) was also resighted. Contributors: Simon Chan, Gan Cheong Weei, Anuj Jain, Lemon Tea Yi Kai, Lena Chow, Yong Yik Shih, Clayton Low, Amy Tsang, KC Tsang, Steven Chong, Laurence Leong & Richard Ong
