Synopsis:
Primary rainforest is a distant memory in the modern city-state of Singapore, mirroring other Southeast Asian cities. However, protected and unprotected secondary forests still constitute 14% of the land. Nestled there and in her unprotected marine environment are a variety of large and charismatic fauna such as pangolins, otters, dolphins, dugongs, wild boar, turtles, monitor lizards, mouse deer and common palm civets.

Zoological explorations in Singapore by staff and student researchers, along with an active natural history community, continue to raise the awareness of a very surprised urban citizenry and address conservation challenges through a variety of avenues. This talk will highlight some of these discoveries and projects.
