Singapore Nature Map
By Eugene on Jan 14, 2008 in Nature and Biodiversity, Singapore
We tried looking for a Google map showing the different nature areas in Singapore but could not find one, so we decided to do one ourselves. Since wildsingapore is the best source of information on nature areas and also to save time, we shamelessly copied description of 18 nature areas from wildsingapore into the map (Thanks Ria for the permission). Images of the nature areas are also shown in the map (Thanks to wildsingapore and various people who shared their photos on Flickr). We hope that more people can learn about the biodiversity in Singapore and explore the nature areas.
A larger view of the map is shown here.
Stephen M. Meyer said in The End of the Wild, “Of course, the end of the wild does not mean a barren world. There will continue to be plenty of life covering the globe. … Life will just be different; much less diverse, much less exotic, much more predictable, and much less able to capture the awe and wonder of the human spirit.” So, treasure and be amazed by the wild nature that is around you or they may give way to development and urbanisation soon. Unless you stop it.

How can I add to the map? I’d been thinking of doing something like this as well, but am internet- and time-challenged.
Thanks, Jeff
