Singapore has an immensely rich natural heritage: as a tiny island situated within a megadiverse biodiversity hotspot, and with drastically reduced natural areas, we are still home to more biodiversity than most countries in Europe. Nonetheless, the resilience of our biological natural resources must not be taken for granted, as it is intimately tied to our survival as a nation.
Join our panellists as we explore how our colonial legacy, shifting socio-cultural biases and current infrastructural capabilities have shaped our attitudes towards nature, and discuss how individuals and groups–through the lens of Education, Civil Society, Science and Governance–can play a part to safeguard Singapore’s natural heritage.
