Stop Mandai Development Project

Singapore has already lost 90 per cent of its natural forest cover due to merciless urbanization and many other animals have remained extinct including wild tigers, leopards, birds and plants. The current surviving species are dwindling each day having difficulty in foraging and finding a home.

The 35 ha Mandai Development Project in Singapore is encroaching the secondary forest in nature reserve to turn it into nature attractions which includes relocation of a bird park to make the area more crowded with tourists, polluted with human activities and scaring away the animals living there with their construction. Road kill might be more common. All of this “development” is for profit and there is absolutely no need to make an area that is already natural into a nature attraction. Wildlife Reserve Singapore cares more about money than protecting wildlife and restoring natural environment.

This defeats the purpose of nature conservation and letting animals thrive in the wild instead of enclosures when the very zoos in Singapore that advocate for wildlife habitat protection are destroying the original tranquillity and ecosystem. It will become like the many dead parks and nature reserves that is constructed with board walks and other artificial facilities. These areas are highly disturbed with human activities. There is no need for another Garden by the Bay model or animal enclosures which promotes ignorance about the interactions in nature. Ask Prime Minister of Singapore to stop the Mandai Development Project to protect the last homes of wildlife in Singapore. Animals that are not sustainable in the wild cannot be sustained by the zoos and other enclosure facilities. Please help me spread the petition to your friends and family. Thanks!!
