NParks

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 o

f 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

Some of the most critical plant discoveries begin in laboratories, such as those led by Dr Gillian Khew, Centre Director for Plant Molecular Biology, Tissue Culture, and the Singapore Botanic Gardens Seed Bank.

At the Molecular Biology Lab, the team analyses the genomes of plant species to help researchers better identify and study them.

The Tissue Culture Lab supports our species recovery efforts and the Gardens' orchid hybridisation programme. Using tissue culture techniques, the team germinates seeds and clones endangered plants and hybrid orchids.

Gillian also heads the Seed Bank, which plays a vital role in safeguarding plant diversity by preserving seeds from native and threatened species.

Together, these efforts provide genetic insights, practical propagation techniques, and seed preservation strategies for native plant conservation in Singapore.

💡Fun Fact Friday💡

Have you ever spotted this plant with unique long hanging flowering shoots?

The Common Putat (Barringtonia racemosa) can tolerate a wide range of soil and environmental conditions and can be found in parks, on roadsides and even on shorelines. 🌊

These night-blooming flowers are pollinated by bats and moths, and it is also a food plant for caterpillars of the Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas).

Do you know what gives some of Singapore’s favourite dishes their fresh, citrusy aroma?

The Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fragrant culinary herb widely used across Southeast Asian cuisines.

It is a tropical grass native to Southeast Asia and South Asia, and can grow up to 2 metres tall when in flower.

Its slender, aromatic stalks release a bright, lemony fragrance when crushed or chopped, adding a refreshing depth of flavour to both savoury dishes and drinks.

From comforting bowls of laksa to flavourful sticks of satay and desserts, here are some well-loved Singaporean dishes where lemongrass lends its fragrance.
