  • The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Seriesdraws On
    Biodiversity: Nature Conservation in the Greening of Singapore - In a small city-state where land is considered a scarce resource, the tension between urban development and biodiversity conservation, which often involves protecting areas of forest from being cleared for development, has always been present. In the years immediately after independence, the Singapore government was more focused on bread-and-butter issues. Biodiversity conservation was generally not high on its list of priorities. More recently, however, the issue of biodiversity conservation has become more prominent in Singapore, both for the government and its citizens. This has predominantly been influenced by regional and international events and trends which have increasingly emphasised the need for countries to show that they are being responsible global citizens in the area of environmental protection. This study documents the evolution of Singapore’s biodiversity conservation efforts and the on-going paradigm shifts in biodiversity conservation as Singapore moves from a Garden City to a City in a Garden. The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Series draws on original Urban Systems Studies research by the Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore (CLC) into Singapore’s development over the last half-century. The series is organised around domains such as water, transport, housing, planning, industry and the environment. Developed in close collaboration with relevant government agencies and drawing on exclusive interviews with pioneer leaders, these practitioner-centric booklets present a succinct overview and key principles of Singapore’s development model. Important events, policies, institutions, and laws are also summarised in concise annexes. The booklets are used as course material in CLC’s Leaders in Urban Governance Programme.

    MEDIA FACTSHEET C Factsheet on Biodiversity Week The United Nations has designated 22 May as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IBD) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. Based on the overall IBD theme of sustainable tourism, NParks has developed a local theme, “Encountering and Exploring Singapore’s Biodiversity”, to encourage the community to not only explore and embrace our rich biodiversity, but also take ownership of our shared natural heritage by caring for our flora and fauna. The theme has two key objectives: To encourage people in Singapore to take notice of the urban biodiversity around them To take specific actions to care for our flora and fauna, so that everyone can enjoy our parks and nature areas for a long time to come To commemorate IBD, NParks has organised a suite of events and activities during Biodiversity Week (20 to 28 May) to encourage the community to explore and encounter nature in Singapore. These programmes are taking place in schools, and our parks, gardens and nature areas, and involves 330 partners from schools, research institutions, and nature- interest groups.

  • 12 January 2014 MEDIA RELEASE to Editors RECORD NUMBER OF
    12 January 2014 MEDIA RELEASE To Editors RECORD NUMBER OF FATHER-AND-CHILD PAIRS BOND AT SAFRA AVVENTURATM 2014 Adventure racing seems to be gaining in popularity as an avenue for fathers to bond with their kids. For the third year in a row, SAFRA AVventura™ has seen more father-and-child pairs participate in its Dads for Life Challenge since the category was first introduced in 2011. A total of 78 father-and-child pairs participated this year – a 22 percent increase as compared to the last edition. Teams also ran and cycled along a longer race route of 10km within the Yishun estate as they participated in a series of fun-filled challenges such as abseiling, sport climbing and the Canopy Sky Walk at SAFRA Adventure Sports Centre (SASC). Apart from father and kids, SAFRA AVventura™ 2014 also drew 130 teams of adventure racers who put their fitness and endurance to the test in the Ultra, Sprint and Youth categories. Teams in the Ultra category were tested with a longer and tougher race route of up to 50km this year which they had to navigate on foot, bike, kayak as well as swim along the coastline at Sembawang Park. They also had to clear various mystery challenges that tested their teamwork and problem-solving skills at various checkpoints along the way before they finished the race at SAFRA Yishun with a torturous 25m manila rope climb up the sport climbing wall. Yeo Kim Hong, 42 and Hairul Nazwa, 38, of team TriAdventure took home the top prize for the Men's Ultra category with a timing of 4 hours 48 minutes.

  • MEDIA RELEASE for Immediate Release Nparks Announces That
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release NParks announces that over 500 species have been discovered or rediscovered locally over the past five years 48 new targets have been added to the species recovery programme 27 May 2017 – The National Parks Board (NParks) announced that over 500 species have been discovered and rediscovered over the past five years in Singapore by NParks staff, research partners and naturalists. These species include both marine and terrestrial animals, plants including orchids, and insects. These discoveries were made during in-depth surveys, such as the Comprehensive Marine Biodiversity Survey, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve survey, as well as concerted efforts to survey Singapore’s nature reserves and nature areas in the past five years. The list of discoveries and rediscoveries includes a bee species that is potentially new to science, and a very rare orchid. A small carpenter bee of the genus Ceratina that is potentially new to science was found by chance in 2014 while NParks staff were studying a clump of flowering Tiger Orchids. In 2016, a clump of the Acriopsis ridleyi growing on a tall tree in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve was collected. When it flowered, the Singapore Botanic Gardens herbarium verified that it was a species of orchid thought extinct for over 100 years. More details about the discoveries and rediscoveries can be found in Factsheet A. Despite Singapore being highly urbanised, the fact that we are able to discover and rediscover over 500 species in our city-state in the last five years shows that there is a lot more biodiversity in our City in a Garden that have yet to be discovered and studied.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 1 Grow with Us
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 1 Grow With Us The seeds of Singapore’s greening campaign were sown in 1963, when former Prime Minster Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat tree at Farrer Circus. Fifty years later on 16 June 2013, he set a Rain Tree sapling firmly in the ground at Holland Village Park, marking the start of a series of activities to commemorate our greening journey. As we look back at the greening efforts over the past 50 years, we can see the dramatic transformation that has taken place in Singapore’s landscape as we transitioned from those nascent years to a Garden City and now to our City in a Garden. Going forward, we will continue to be guided by the vision of our pioneering leaders to make Singapore a distinctive and attractive place to live in. We will continue to build on the foundations that have been laid over the past five decades and we invite everyone – individuals, communities and corporations – to Grow With Us.

    About Your Tour Singapore has a rich botanical history and its old and current tree planting practices are of international interest.

This trip will explore the history, right up to the present day.
