Nature & Us

Nature & Us

In this session, we talk about how humans have been shaping Singapore’s biodiversity—past, present and future. Learn more about the forces of influences we had and continue to have on Singapore’s nature spaces, as well as the conservation efforts that came into play later in our natural history, including some of the biodiversity research carried out by our museum staff. ACRES co-CEO Ms Anbarasi Boopal also joined us to chat about instances of human-wildlife interactions in Singapore (51:13).
