Tackling the illegal wildlife trade via Singapore
Tackling the illegal wildlife trade via Singapore
“1 in 3 Singaporeans who have encountered illegal wildlife trade have encountered it online.”
Singapore’s strong connectivity and efficient transportation network makes it a potential route for trafficking syndicates to move endangered wildlife and their products. They enter Singapore from source countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, and are shipped out to large consumer markets such as China and Europe.
Driven by demand for their exotic meat, perceived medicinal benefits and as pets, illegal wildlife trade is a big, lucrative business—the fourth largest illegal trade in the world. To make matters worse, advances in digital connectivity have increased the ease of exchange of wildlife from poacher to consumer.

What we do
With thousands of illegal animal products found online at any given time, we cannot do it alone. Fortunately, individuals and the world’s biggest e-commerce, technology, and social media companies around the world have joined forces to shut down online marketplaces for wildlife traffickers.
The Coalition to End Wildlife Tracking Online was launched in 2018 by WWF, TRAFFIC and IFAW together with 21 tech company members. And as of September 2021, it has since doubled to 47 company members—which includes Lazada, the first Singapore-headquartered company to join the Coalition!
WWF-Singapore helps e-commerce business to tackle Illegal Wildlife Trade through policy changes and to identify illegal listings on their sites. We are also involved in holding webinars and plenary discussions to engage businesses on local Illegal Wildlife Trade matters, and to share their best practices or challenges.
Individuals are also empowered to be part of the solution, as a key citizen scientist, under the The Wildlife Cyber Spotter Programme. As the voices across the globe, Cyber Spotters detect and report illegal online listings.
Our impact
Since the program’s inception in 2018
Help us continue our efforts to save endangered
species from extinction and prevent sale and
demand of illegal animal products.

“Plastics are so resilient that they can take up to 400 years to decompose!”
To achieve the vision of No Plastics in Nature by 2030, Plastic ACTion (PACT) is working towards the elimination of all unnecessary plastics, reduction of single-use waste and movement towards a circular economy.
What we do
Started by WWF-Singapore and based on WWF’s No Plastic in Nature Initiative, Plastic ACTion (PACT) is a business initiative that aims to reduce waste and move towards a circular economy. The programme empowers companies to adapt their business models and processes to be more resource-efficient.
By providing businesses with guidance and resources to help reduce their plastic consumption, this will lower their environmental footprint, and address the growing consumer demand for sustainability.
We engage with businesses via two approaches:
Sectoral Collaboration
Individual Company Commitments
Our impact in 2021
Since 2019, WWF-Singapore has brought together 35 companies from the food & beverage, retail, food delivery service and other sectors to reduce the use of single-use packaging and especially plastics. Collectively, PACT companies avoid over 85 million pieces of single-use plastics annually!

WWF-Singapore X Lendlease: Tackling the Waste Problem in Retail Sector
Singapore has disposed of seven times more waste over the past 40 years; of which in 2018, large shopping malls contributed 7% of the country’s total waste disposed.
Recognising that more can be done to address the high waste levels in the retail sector, Lendlease has pledged to reduce plastic waste from tenants on their properties through innovative solutions, and to provide valuable insights to spur adoption of waste management innovations in the retail sector.
Results
- Collaborated with PACT to produce the Circularity in Retail: Tackling the Waste Problem Report, a guide for the retail sector to improve efforts towards waste reduction and a circular economy strategy
- Potentially implementing waste reduction pilots in Lendlease’s operations and inspiring others to take action, based on the above-mentioned study

Delivering on circularity: Feasibility study for reusable packaging in Singapore
The pandemic has massively accelerated the growth of e-commerce, and we now have over 200,000 e-commerce parcels delivered daily in Singapore. While online retail has made many goods and services easily accessible, it also leads to lots of packaging waste—a threat to the environment.
A possible solution is using reusable packaging, which can be collected from customers and used repeatedly to prevent landfill waste. Supported by Uniqlo Singapore, WWF-Singapore’s Plastic ACTion (PACT) conducted a feasibility study to understand and identify the barriers of using reusable packaging in e-commerce, focusing on business-to-consumer packaging.
Results
- Increased awareness on the problem of waste generated from e-commerce packaging and provided alternative packaging solutions
- Created opportunities for retailers to pilot reusable solutions for e-commerce packaging
- Provided guidance to help retailers in meeting their corporate sustainability goals

“90% of the world’s fishing grounds are already fished to their limits or overfished to feed an ever-growing population.”
To stop our seafood from disappearing forever, responsible production and consumption of seafood is the only way to reverse this decline and prevent the predicted collapse of fish stocks within our lifetime.
What we do
The Responsible Seafood Action (REACT) project aims at tackling the issue by both increasing supply and encouraging market demand for responsible seafood through extensive business and public outreach. WWF-Singapore works with local aquaculture farms to improve farming practices, and businesses to improve responsible seafood sourcing.

WWF-Singapore X Barramundi Group: Contributing to Singapore’s seafood supply sustainably
To increase responsible seafood production in Singapore
Barramundi Group in achieving ASC certification (a first in Singapore!)
WWF-Singapore’s partnership with Barramundi Group, the largest barramundi farm in Singapore, is an important step forward to increase the domestic supply of responsible seafood. Barramundi Group’s expansion just off Singapore’s coast is expected to yield 6,000 tonnes of fish a year, which is more than the production of all other local fish farms combined.
WWF-Singapore will provide advice and guidance for the implementation of the aquaculture improvement work plan, and work out milestones to achieve the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certification—the highest sustainable standards of farming!

“If there was one formula for our success, it was that we were constantly studying how to make things work, or how to make them work better.”
— Lee Kuan Yew
Educating the younger generations on the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to climate change can bring about a culture of caring for the environment. Their collective individual actions can add up to make a difference, and transform our home for a better, more resilient future.
What we do
Under the Climate Action Schools programme, we work with educators to equip students with the knowledge and skills to address environmental threats, and take informed actions to reduce their carbon footprint.
Students will learn and apply the concepts of calculating and reducing a school’s carbon footprint using six indicators—fossil fuels, electricity, water, food, materials, and transport. Then, they will be supported in developing an action plan to reduce the footprint, monitor and evaluate their success.
Community events and workshops to engage with youths in Singapore
