Singapore has done well in making multi-decade plans for where people will live. As more areas are cleared for urban development, a critical question is whether animals can have places to live and even survive, says Richard Hartung.
Looking back to the time the British first came here in the early 1800s, Singaporean and Australian researchers noted that more than 95 per cent of the original vegetation has been cleared.According to online monitoring platform Global Forest Watch, Singapore lost 37ha, or 4.3 per cent, of humid primary forest from 2002 to 2021, making up 1.4 per cent of its total tree cover loss in the time period.
What’s needed is to identify species needing conservation, assess their needs, write an action plan written for each species and take appropriate actions.The National Parks Board's Nature Conservation Masterplan provides a framework for biodiversity conservation efforts in Singapore. Even with the changes, however, the environmental impact study showed that the project would still have a major impact on some sites, with irreversible habitat loss.
