Gen Z is increasingly taking an interest in birdwatching, turning to nature as a way to unwind and explore Singapore’s biodiversity and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.

Social media, online bird-sighting communities and more accessible photography equipment have also made it easier for young people to pick up the hobby and share their discoveries.

So why are more young people taking up birdwatching and what is drawing Gen Z to a hobby traditionally associated with older generations?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Raghav Narayanswamy, Vice President of the Bird Society of Singapore, who first took up birdwatching at the age of 13, on why the hobby is gaining traction among his generation.
