State Tourism and Domestic Trade committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang said the competition which started in February, would end in May or June in conjunction with the World Migratory Birds' Day this year.He said Johor Tourism Action Council had allocated RM20,000 to the national photographers' association to organise the competition.
Hoo said this would put Parit Jawa on the world map as one of the tourism destinations in Johor."The competition has encouraged an influx of foreign bird lovers and professional photographers to boost the state tourism industry," he said here recently.
Hoo said these migratory birds created much interest and excitement among bird watchers worldwide.He said some of the birds like Lesser Adjutant stork (leptoptilos javanicus), the Chinese egret (egretta eulophotes) and the Asian Dowitcher (limnodromus semipalmatu) are internationally classified as vulnerable and on the verge of extinction.The birds are found on the 20ha mudflat at Parit Jawa Pantai, about l4km from Muar town.
