The way we consume seafood is impacting our marine ecosystem

3 in 4 of the most popular seafood species we consume in Singapore are not caught sustainably. Think of the ikan kuning in nasi lemak, the silver pomfret that goes well with teochew porridge, and the sea bass in fish curry—they are likely sourced from overexploited fish stocks and could disappear within our lifetime.

THE SEA

Plastic waste is contaminating
our seas

In 2020, plastic was the largest category of waste disposed of in Singapore, and only 4% was recycled. The remaining plastic waste is either incinerated and buried at Semakau landfill—the nation’s sole landfill—or may end up in the marine environment.

Singapore is a haven for biodiversity

Thanks to our lush greenery and clean waterways, sightings of wildlife like the raffles banded langur, lesser mouse deer and hornbills are becoming more frequent!

THE FOREST

But… Urban growth is also causing a decline in biodiversity

Clearing forested areas for housing and other competing needs could exacerbate biodiversity loss in Singapore, as plants and animals are displaced from their natural habitats.

Enter the city

Singapore is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the world…
We are insufferably hotter because of global warming, heat generated from human activities and heat trapped by buildings.

THE LAND

Climate change brings about more frequent and
intense rainfall

Talk about “rain, rain, go away.” Prolonged heavy rains are now a more common occurrence in Singapore. When drains and canals overflow due to intense rainfall, flash floods can happen​​, causing disruption to life and damage to property.
