Chek Jawa Wetlands

Singapore has a rich biodiversity for an island of its size. As a comparison, Singapore, which is 0.2% the size of UK, has some 360 species of birds or 60% of the number of species found in the UK. This is despite us having a vibrant economy, one of the highest population densities in the world, and no countryside or hinterland.

 

To promote and enhance biodiversity, NParks is developing an action plan – the Singapore National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan – to conserve our natural heritage for the next 10-15 years.
