NParks We are dedicated to transforming Singapore into a City in Nature. We also work closely with the community to enhance the quality of our living environment.

The National Parks Board (NParks) is responsible for enhancing and managing the urban ecosystems of our City in Nature. We are the lead agency for greenery, biodiversity conservation, and wildlife and animal health, welfare and management. NParks manages parks, nature reserves, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Pulau Ubin and the Sisters' Islands Marine Park. Adding to this is the extensive network of Nature Ways, and Park Connector Network that links major parks, nature areas and residential estates island-wide. NParks also manages millions of trees, including those along roads and in our parks, gardens and state land. NParks has developed an urban biodiversity conservation model, which aims to conserve representative ecosystems in land-scarce Singapore. NParks also monitors and coordinates measures to enhance the presence of biodiversity in our urban landscape. The Animal & Veterinary Service, a cluster within NParks, is the main touch-point for animal-related issues, as well as the first responder for animal-related feedback. By improving the standards of the animal and veterinary sectors, we aim to safeguard animal health and welfare in Singapore. NParks is working closely with partners in the landscape, horticulture, veterinary and animal sectors to increase productivity, and provide training for all levels of the workforce. Enhancing competencies of the industry will support Singapore’s vision of being a City in Nature. For more information, visit www.nparks.gov.sg

Gardening is a great way to bond with others in your community and enjoy the health and well-being benefits of being closer to nature! 👩‍🌾🌿

If you garden along common corridors in high-rise estates or roadsides outside private homes, remember to keep these shared spaces clear and accessible for your neighbours and others using them.

A little gardening etiquette goes a long way towards creating well-maintained shared spaces that everyone can enjoy.

For assistance with greenery issues in:
- HDB estates ➡️ Contact your respective Town Council.
- Private condominiums ➡️ Contact the respective MCST.
- Your neighbour’s private property ➡️ Approach your neighbour and work towards an amicable resolution.

💡Fun Fact Friday💡

With its vibrant green scales, long slender tail and distinctive crest, the Green Crested Lizard (Bronchocela cristatella) is one of Singapore’s native reptiles! 🦎🌿

Often found among shrubs and trees, this agile climber spends much of its time perched on branches, where it hunts for insects and other small invertebrates.

Despite its brilliant green appearance, this lizard is surprisingly well-camouflaged and can be easy to miss among the leaves! It can also change its body colour from bright green to darker shades of brown, particularly when stressed.

Unlike some other lizards, the Green Crested Lizard has a remarkably long tail that helps it maintain its balance as it moves through vegetation.

Our roads were treated to a vibrant burst of colour over the past three months, with Bougainvillea putting on a stunning floral display across Singapore!

Known for their brilliant shades of pink, purple, orange and red, the Bougainvillea is a familiar sight along our roadsides.

Their colourful, papery structures are modified leaves called bracts, while their true flowers are the tiny, white blooms nestled within them!

These sun-loving plants thrive in Singapore's tropical climate and can tolerate relatively dry conditions, making them a popular choice for roadside landscaping.

💡Fun Fact Friday💡

The Lesser Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna javanica) is one of Singapore's resident waterbirds and is often seen gliding across ponds, reservoirs and wetlands.

Unlike many ducks, it's known for its distinctive soft whistling calls, which inspired its common name. 🌿

These ducks are highly social and are often spotted resting or foraging together in groups.

The next time you're near a wetland or reservoir, listen out for their gentle whistles!
