Singapore’s Natural Heritage: Are We Doing Enough to Safeguard Its Future?

Singapore has an immensely rich natural heritage. 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 panelists 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 and Science–can play a part to safeguard Singapore’s natural heritage.
