Singapore’s Nature Society Restructures Expanding Full-Time Staff, Regional Conservation Efforts

The Nature Society (Singapore) is restructuring to enhance its conservation efforts by increasing full-time staff and launching new revenue-generating eco-journeys focused on environmental education and community support. Similarly, Cairn Oil & Gas in Assam, India, exemplifies corporate commitment to biodiversity by partnering with local authorities to protect endangered species and establishing greenbelts, aiming to plant 2 million trees by 2030. In contrast, China remains the world's largest consumer and illegal importer of wildlife products, driven by demand for traditional Chinese medicine, contributing to severe declines in species such as pangolins and donkeys, with devastating impacts on animal populations in Africa. These developments highlight a global spectrum of conservation actions, from grassroots and corporate initiatives to ongoing challenges posed by illegal wildlife trade.
