Mandai Nature, the conservation arm of Mandai Wildlife Group and part of the Temasek Trust ecosystem, has released its impact report for the financial year 2023/2024.
Titled Protecting Wildlife, Preserving The Future, the report showcases Mandai Nature’s significant strides in protecting and preserving the biodiversity within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore, and Southeast Asia — positively impacting species, habitats, and communities. This was made possible through collaborations with its dedicated conservation partners in the field.
The conservation organisation continues its commitment to deliver on the IUCN Species Survival Commission's Assess, Plan, and Act framework for species recovery in its regional conservation efforts. Mandai Nature has targeted conservation actions for more than 50 threatened Southeast Asian species through the funding of over 40 conservation projects. These efforts not only protect wildlife, but also have a positive spillover effect on ecosystems and local communities by providing alternate livelihoods.
Among the impact highlights are:
- 78 species of herpetofauna and birds recorded during surveys in wildlife parks at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve
- At least 4,000 individuals engaged in capacity building programmes for conservation education and awareness
- More than S$125,000 awarded to Singapore researchers to conduct projects focused on protecting native wildlife
- Over 300 aspiring conservationists attended World Wildlife Day Regional Youth Symposium 2024
- A new programme pillar, which aims to cultivate future conservation leaders and develop Southeast Asia's talent pipeline
- More than 78,000 seedlings planted in Southeast Asia as part of forest restoration and enhancement efforts
